Gold Star Support
As a matter of practice, we step in to assist families affected by a fatal Army Aviation mishap. Each primary next-of-kin receives a $2,500 check or ACH for immediate casualty assistance.
In addition to this immediate support, we launch a fundraiser and design a commemorative T-shirt that honors the fallen service members and their unit. This apparel serves as a fundraising vehicle, with 100% of the profits granted directly to the Gold Star families.
Proceeds from the memorial apparel and fundraiser help cover family travel, lodging, incidentals, and other needs during an incredibly difficult time.
Step 2
The foundation works with the unit leadership and CAOs to obtain command and family approval to provide assistance.
Step 3
The Foundation sends a $2,500 ACH to each PNOK, initiates a month-long fundraising campaign, and designs memorial apparel.
Gold Star Liaison Network
Central to this mission is our Gold Star Support Liaison Network.
This peer-to-peer network is composed of Gold Star family members we have previously served.
These fellow Gold Star family members provide peer support, community, and a lasting presence long after the world moves on, ensuring no family grieves alone and that every family has a dedicated advocate to help them navigate the initial stages of a mishap and beyond.
The United for For the Fallen
Additionally, we are partnered with TUFF to coordinate the household needs of the families we serve. You can learn more about this partnership here.
