Yesterday, Luke's Wings was honored by the American Legion Post 1976 during a breakfast with a generous $5,000 donation from the organization. We are incredibly grateful for our relationship with the American Legion and for the efforts of US Army Staff Sergeant James Pierce (Ret.), Chairman of the Luke's Wings Board and a member of the American Legion, who facilitated this meaningful contribution. Thank you to all who attended and donated! We are so appreciative of your support. #AmericanLegionPost #Annandale #Donation #TravelAssistance #WoundedWarriors

“Our fear is overcome by our conscience and our beliefs and forces us to act." - John McCain My son Rex is one of the youngest participating in this year’s New York City SEAL Swim to raise money for The Navy SEAL Foundation which provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. This event consists of a mile run at the start, a total of 3.5 miles of swimming broken up by 3 stations where they complete 100 honor pushups and 22 pull ups, and a final mile run at the end to the World Trade Center. Please consider helping him in his journey. https://lnkd.in/egt6Wibm “Sworn to protect us from America’s foes. They operate under cover of darkness, against unimaginable odds. Not for status. Not for glory. But to defend our way of life. With strength, courage, and honor.” Funds raised will help provide critical, evidence-based programs for SEALs and their families - programs designed to build strength and resilience, encourage optimal health, enhance opportunities for growth through education, and solidify a sense of community and belonging. - $500 could fund travel for a wounded SEAL or Special Warfare Combat Crewmen (SWCC) in need of specialized care for their return to duty - $250 could provide graduate-level test prep assistance for a transitioning SEAL or SWCC - $150 could fund one session of grief counseling for a Gold Star family member - $100 could pay for a physical rehabilitation session for a SEAL or SWCC - $50 could cover two hours of Respite Child Care for one family of a deployed service member - $25 could provide one meal for a Command Memorial - $10 could fund 1 water bottle for an NSW kid at Summer Camp #SEALswim #NSF #NSFTeammates #NavySEALFoundation #NYCSEALSwim

Each year, Wawa, Inc. teams up with the USO and local members of the Air and Army National Guard for the annual tradition known as Operation Taste of Home, where together, they assemble care packages. This year, as #VeteransDay approaches, this annual tradition continues as Wawa associates, members of the Wawa Veterans’ Alliance and members of the USO and Pennsylvania National Guard plan to assemble more than 10,000 care packages that will be sent to service members stationed abroad. The Wawa Foundation will also be presenting the USO with a check for over a million dollars raised through customer donations! These campaigns make it easy for customers to donate and show that even small amounts can make a big difference — often totaling millions of dollars. Yes, believe it or not, that small change you donate as you make your purchase can actually make a huge difference in the lives of American service members, military spouses and military children. #TheUSO’s corporate partnerships help to fund major USO programs that support service members and their families — programs that keep them connected while they are stationed or deployed anywhere in the world.

The National Auto Body Council (#NABC) recently revealed the establishment of the Changing and Saving Lives Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization to support community involvement and fundraising events. The foundation's primary focus is to assist families in need, military members, veterans, and first responders through various programs, including #NABC Recycled Rides, NABC First Responder Emergency Extrication (F.R.E.E.), and NABC Community Impact initiatives. In the year 2023 alone, the NABC, through these programs, distributed over 200 vehicles to families, veterans, and military members in need of reliable transportation. More than 1,500 first responders received life-saving education on vehicle rescue techniques. With the increasing demand for NABC programs, there is a growing need for resources to manage and expand these initiatives. The Changing and Saving Lives Foundation enables the NABC to actively pursue grants, gifts, and donations actively, providing the necessary means to enhance and broaden their programs. This strategic move will allow the organization to meet the rising demand and make a more substantial impact on communities where NABC members reside and work. #NABCFoundation #CommunityImpact #ChangingLives #AutobodyNews

I am so proud of the work my classmates (Jessica Whitney, MBA, Millie Hale, → Cristina P., Bradford Waldie, Austin McKinney, Stephan Azab, and Jordan Craft) and I have done creating the 2010 Endowment for Cadet Morale with the Air Force Academy Foundation and Association of Graduates - U.S. Air Force Academy. $0.93 per dollar donated to the Class of 2010 Endowment for Cadet Morale goes directly to the cadets. So, for every $20.10 monthly donation, $18.69 is provided to the fund monthly. Since its inception in 2020, seven cadet squadrons have received $5,000 to spend however they see fit. We have seen improvements to SARs, Top Golf parties, video game system purchases, squadron bars created, and restaurant outings (Raising Canes and Chiptole). We make a tangible impact on cadets at USAFA every semester. As a class, we don't micromanage how cadets spend the money. The winning squadron AOC works with their cadet leadership to create an initial proposal for how the funds are spent, including an itemized breakdown. USAFA and the Association and Foundation review this proposal, and then once approved, the Association and Foundation work directly with the cadet leadership to purchase the items. You do not need to be in the Class of 2010 to contribute—everyone is welcome to join our team dedicated to helping cadets currently at USAFA raise their morale in a way that is authentic to their current desires. See the link below for more information about the fund, who has already donated, impact reports about how the cadets have spent the money, two videos of squadrons updating their SARs, and how you can donate. Please share the link with your network if you think what we do is worthwhile. We aim to have 250 people donate to the fund and at least 50 of those individuals making monthly recurring donations of $10 or more by 1 September. Ultimately, we are looking to grow the fund from its current $170K to $200K by the end of the year. https://lnkd.in/gN-Xpy9S #1day1usafa #usafa #2010 #morale #usafaaog

🌟 Honoring the Unseen Heroes: The Legacy of Military Children 🌟 These young heroes grow up in a world that's constantly changing, with challenges that many of us can only imagine. Yet, their strength, adaptability, and sense of duty are nothing short of inspiring. Research and anecdotes alike tell us that children of military personnel are significantly more likely to follow in their parents' footsteps and serve their country. This isn't merely a coincidence; it's the result of a unique upbringing that instills values such as loyalty, honor, and a profound sense of service from a very young age. Military children witness firsthand the sacrifices made for national security and are imbued with a deep understanding of what it means to commit to a cause greater than oneself. By supporting USA Cares, you can help keep these military-connected children safe remain safe and with their families. Join us in changes lives by donating today.
