Standing Beside Those Who Serve – Because Heroes Have Families, Too

At Friends of the 179th, we believe that service doesn’t stop at the uniform, and neither does our support. We’re a nonprofit organization with one heartfelt mission: to lift the Airmen of the 179 Cyberspace Wing and 200 RED HORSE Squadron in Mansfield, Ohio, and the families who stand beside them. Whether it’s a joyful Children’s Christmas Party, a tearful Welcome Home ceremony, or a high-energy Family Day filled with bounce houses, face painting, and laughter, we make moments that matter. We help create connection, resilience, and joy, especially during times of deployment and separation.

 

Through year-round giving on Richland Gives, your donations help fund:

     ★ Family & morale events that uplift our 1000+ service members and their loved ones

     ★ Scholarships for military children pursuing higher education

     ★ Deployment support that brighten seasons apart

     ★ Support services identified by our dedicated Family Readiness Program

 

Every dollar makes a difference, and every donation is tax-deductible and irrevocable. We’re proud to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (not affiliated with or endorsed by the DoD), run solely to support those who serve and their families.

As one of our commanders said best:

“These programs and scholarships help provide the building blocks that improve morale and resilience to our members, ultimately making our Wing one of the best in the nation.”
