AFAF campaign begins March 23 Published March 20, 2015 By Senior Airman Gustavo Castillo 52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- The 42nd annual Air Force Assistance Fund campaign begins at Spangdahlem Air Base March 23 and continues through May 1. The annual campaign raises money for four charities that provide support for Airmen and their families in need of financial, educational or emergency assistance. The organizations include: the Air Force Aid Society, the Air Force Enlisted Village, the Air Force Villages Charitable Foundation and the General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation. "All of the money goes to the four foundations," said U.S. Air Force Capt. Christen Chandler, 52nd Medical Operations Squadron family health nurse and AFAF coordinator. "You can pick and choose or give to all by splitting up donations. However you choose, the donations give back to all past, present and future Airmen." Campaign coordinators plan on having 100 percent face-to-face contact with all Spangdahlem Airmen during the first week and hope to sustain contributions throughout the term. The campaign officially begins with a kickoff event March 23 at 8 a.m. at the Club Eifel ballroom with breakfast and donation forms provided.
