Vance AFAF campaign reaches one-third of goal in first week

  • Published
The 2011 Vance Air Force Assistance Fund campaign's first week was incredible, said Capt. Todd Gibbs, the campaign project officer. "We've raised $11,200, over a third of our goal, with five weeks left in the campaign," he said.

The 71st Flying Training Wing commander, Col. Russ Mack, completed the first donation slip of the campaign during a kick-off breakfast for key workers held Feb. 7 at the Community Chapel Activity Center.

This year's campaign will continue until March 18.

In addition to the $33,000 campaign goal at Vance, Captain Gibbs said 100 percent contact with eligible contributors is planned. "We have contacted almost 56 percent and 116 people have participated," he said.

The annual AFAF campaign is used to raise funds for four charities; the Air Force Enlisted Village, the Air Force Village, the LeMay Foundation, and the mostly widely recognized, the Air Force Aid Society. All of these charities focus on taking care of the Air Force family.
