We Care For
Our Airmen
and their Families
Wounded Airmen Program
In 2011 the Wounded Airmen program was formed, this program was founded with the focus of truly caring and supporting our airmen. Here at the Alamo Chapter, we put our airmen first and we will always take care of our own.
More Information
Our program provides life-changing assistance to seriously wounded, ill, and injured Airmen and their families. We step up to help in the times they need it most. The Wounded Airman Program supports the Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) program on its mission to provide personalized support and advocacy to wounded Airmen and their families. Through the support of our local communities and national sponsors, we have provided more than $625,000 to wounded Airmen and their families.
How We Help
Our Airmen have sacrificed so much and we are always looking for ways to expand our support. The Wounded Airman Program is a community of empowerment, support, and strength that not only works to change their lives but saves them as well.
- Providing assistance grants to wounded Airmen to help with emergency financial situations
- Awarding scholarships to dependent children of wounded Airmen
- Providing adaptive sports equipment to Airmen in rehabilitation
- Partner with local hospitals and rehabilitation centers to give you the best care
- Hosting activities to celebrate the hard work of caregivers
- Supporting 1,200 wounded warriors and family members at the Department of Defense Warrior Games
- Sponsoring unfunded veteran wounded Airmen and caregivers to attend Air Force Wounded Warrior CARE events

How You Can Help
The Wounded Airmen Program (WAP) is operated and administered by AFA with staff time and overhead fees covered by AFA’s general fund. In other words, if you give $100 to the WAP, that $100 will go toward the support we give our wounded Airmen. Thanks to donors like you, we have provided more than $625,000 in support of Air Force Wounded Warriors, and we’re just getting started! As the needs of our wounded Airmen continue to grow, so does the need for Wounded Airman Program donations. Please consider donating to the Wounded Airman Program to help us ensure that we can continue to meet the growing needs of our heroes.
