AFAF campaign continues through April 17 Published March 20, 2009 KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, New Mexico -- The Air Force Assistance Fund was created to provide an annual effort to raise money for the charities that support Air Force families. The fund provides support to four charities: the Air Force Villages Indigent Widows' Fund, the Air Force Enlisted Village Indigent Widows' Fund, the Air Force Aid Society and The General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation. The organizations that benefit from AFAF do not receive support from tax dollars and more than 95 percent of contributed funds go directly to the AFAF mission of helping Air Force families. The AFAF "Commitment to Caring" campaign is in its 36th year of raising funds for Airmen-based charitable organizations. This year's campaign runs through April 17. Questions about the AFAF can be directed to Master Sgt. Brian Rutlege, 853-5129, or Master Sgt. Cedric Watson, 846-1673 .
