“Exempt Purpose AchievementAFF continues to host at least one event a month that brings our Veterans and their families together for the opportunity to socialize, make new friends and build a great sense of community. Many of these events, like the R.E.D. Friday Socials, allows us to partner with some amazing allies in the Veteran service arena; organizations like Spirit Equestrian, Team ADDO, Leashes of Valor and GW Vets. We also have had the opportunity to partner with and support the Green Beret Foundation, Travis Manion Foundation, Team RWB and Armed Services Arts Partnership Collaborations that further our commitment to ensuring WE are never alone. A message that is even more vital as more and more Veterans transition out of service and return from deployment.”

“Primary Exempt PurposeAFF empowers Active Duty, Reserve and Separated Service Members through a mission of athletics, education, and advocacy. The goal of AFF is simple: provide a place for active duty and Veteran service members to come together in a spirit of camaraderie to participate in recreational AND competitive sports; to afford the means and opportunity for student Veterans who seek a career in defense or public policy to achieve the next step in their goals; and to raise awareness and financial support for Veteran focused organizations that are providing crucial resources for Veterans in the community. Exempt Purpose AchievementThrough the unity gained through AFF, Patriots Softball, in its sixth year, continues to build upon its successes by empowering more than 70 veteran athletes with a place to connect and compete at tournaments across more than 10 states; including tournaments in Coco Beach, FL, Colorado Springs, CO and Las Vegas, NV. The support of our donors and sponsors provides, not only, the opportunity for these athletes to compete, but also the uniforms and much needed equipment. Many of whom would not have been able to participate without such tremendous support. The Patriots Softball program has doubled its outreach in 2019 reaching more Veteran athletes and proving more opportunities to come together. Exempt Purpose AchievementThe Manhattans, Martinis & Mistletoe Veterans Awards Gala endures its reputation as, not only, the signature event of the holiday season but also, as the premier Veterans Awards ceremony in the nation for is recognition of community leaders, military influencers and Vetrepeneurs. Approaching its 6th year, we anticipate more than 450 Patriots will gather to celebrate the courage and service of our men and women in uniform. Its an amazing evening that is hosted by Graham Allen with attendance by celebrities, countless Members of Congress, and military leaders from across the region. This past year, we had the honor of having 35 Members of Congress stand-up in a true bipartisan spirit as Honorary Co-Chairs.”
