The panhandle of Florida is home to numerous military installations; thousands of military personnel and their families who also give back to the community they call home while here.
We count on the generosity of their time through volunteerism, both at the Fisher House on Eglin and supporting many community events annually that raise funds for our mission.
We call those squadrons, morale/booster clubs/private orgs our partners because most of these events happen when they come in big numbers to augment our dedicated volunteers who love our military like we do. We like to recognize our active duty personnel specifically with an annual designation, the BBC, the Best Booster Club with a Liter award for teambuilding and bragging rights for making a difference. In 2022, the 33 AMXS, the Dragon Booster Club earned the distinction.
