History and Overview
[edit]The Fashion for Fighters Foundation was founded May 2015 by President Chris Decker.[3] This foundation has three major goals: support injured and retired military personnel, provide resources not funded by the government or through community avenues, and increase awareness for the needs of military members through fashion venues.[1][2]
The Fashion for Fighters Foundation hosts an annual Gala every spring. The first Gala was held in May 2015 in Washington D.C.,[1] the second in April 2016 also in Washington D.C.,[4] and the third in June 2017 at the Embassy of New Zealand, Washington, D.C.[5][6] The fourth Gala was held in May 2018 at Springfield Golf & Country Club.[7] Gala proceeds go to disabled Veterans in need and to fundraise for the Navy Safe Harbor Foundation.
