Raising a grand total of $69,266 in donations, Mountain Home Air Force Base surpassed their goal by $7,076, earning the number one position in Air Combat Command for percentage above monetary goal. "It's wonderful that we were able to not only exceed our goal, but to help out those family members in need," said 2nd Lt. Cameron White, 366th Comptroller Squadron flight commander of financial services. "It shows me that we have a group, a base, full of caring Airmen." During the six week fundraiser 38 percent of our base's active duty population chose to donate, making MHAFB number one in participation rates in the entire Air Force. "I am very appreciative of those who were willing to open up their hearts and donate," said Master Sgt. Jason McCollough, 366th Fighter Wing plans and records deployment and receptions NCO-in charge. Contributions were given to one of four possible charities: the Air Force Aid Society, General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation, the Air Force Village and the Air Force Enlisted Village. "I have seen the Air Force Assistance Fund help out several young Airmen in need," said McCollough. "It's definitely a great organization to donate to." The AFAF was established to provide an annual effort to raise funds for the charitable affiliates that provide support to the Air Force family (active duty, retirees, reservists, guard and their dependents, including surviving spouses) in need. "It was great seeing that support," said McCollough. "Knowing that people actually understand how great this program is." Congratulations Mountain Home AFB to a job well done.
