Ways To Help

Want to do something to help the families or deployed service members? Whether it's sending packages overseas, sending messages of support, making purchases where part of your proceeds help the families nothing is too small when you consider the sacrifices made daily by our wonderful military service members and their families. Take a look at the examples of how others find ways to support our troops and please remember to thank all those in uniform for their guarantee of our families continued freedom and the freedom of others!

Fundraising Events

Never has the generosity of others been shown so clear as it has been to us at CFSRF.

Whether is has been in a ....

  • 5k
  • Nightclub Event
  • Dinner/Dance
  • Golf Event
  • Participation in a Marathon
  • Sweet Sixteen Birthday party
  • Bike Run
  • Poker Tournament
  • The time of those that organized, worked at, donated to, and attended were all appreciated. It is only by their generosity and dedication that we at CFSRF are able to continue to support our troops.


    The CFSRF has students whose parent died tragically after returning home from serving overseas in an automobile or motorcycle accident and others who died as a result of terminal illnesses, diseases and other conditions or ailments who are struggling to attend College and other families whose children are suffering from other financial hardships after a non-hostile loss of a parent. We are doing what we can to help these by including them in our Scholarships program. Unfortunately we have had to turn these young deserving students down, but encourage them to reapply to the surviving college scholarship program. For other families that are need of financial assistance we will do what we can to continue to help under the ADOPT A FAMILY program, that has limited funding. If you are interested in helping the children who are outside of our mission and programs, please indicate ADOPT A FAMILY on your donation so that we can help our service member's children. Those that served in Afghanistan or Iraq, however, did not sustain a severe disability or loss of life a result of their service have children who need our help as well. We presently have less than $3,000.00 remaining in this special program and several children that we'll have to turn away if our funds remain at this amount. If you are a business or Corporate partner who is willing to allocate some of your previous contributions to these children, please email us.

    FOR THOSE WHO WOULD STILL LIKE TO HELP, PLEASE DONATE ONLINE or BY CHECK AND IN THE MESSAGE LINE INDICATE ADOPT A FAMILY 100% OF YOUR DONATION WILL HELP THESE WELL DESERVING CHILDREN.

    Nascar's Hendricks Motorsports and Motorsports Authentics has chosen the Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund to receive a portion of profits received from the Honoring Our Soldiers Program that began this past Memorial Day weekend! All Nascar fans are able to take a look at the special patriotic themed items that are Honoring Our Soldiers.

    Remember now is a good time to add to your collections for when you place an order you will also be showing appreciation for the many sacrifices made daily by the strongest force in our Nation, our military! You don't have to be a racing fan to Honor Our Soldiers this memorial day and if you are and your driver does not drive number 5, 48, 88, 24 one of your buddies who just may be a veteran may appreciate you remembering him or her. You may have family members or brothers in arms currently overseas that may enjoy a little surprise, show them that you honor and appreciate them by helping provide support to our military and their families.

    Join us as we continue making dreams come true by providing financial and educational assistance to their children and families! Visit Nascar.com or your local Motorsports Authentics Dealer today and check back for apparel and other items. When you place an order you will also be giving a "gift" back for your continued Freedoms!

    To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. Anatole France

    Become part of the dream, part of the plan as I truly believe that even the smallest gesture can bring others much happiness and our veterans deserve to know that we appreciate their courage, dedication and selfless sacrifices.


     

     


    Please join Defiance Fight Gear in honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom!
