Civil Air Patrol National Capital Wing and CFC

Posted by Col Jane Davies on October 12th, 2008 filed in Fundraising

National Capital Wing is one of 52 wings in Civil Air Patrol. What makes this wing unique in Civil Air Patrol is that our boundaries are not determined by state lines, as the fifty other wings (Puerto Rico Wing is the other exception). Instead, National Capital Wing is the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area, encompassing the District of Columbia, parts of the Commonwealths of Maryland and Virginia. As such, National Capital Wing receives no state funding to run our youth programs or training of members in homeland security and emergency services.

This year, National Capital Wing has joined the ranks of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) to raise funds in order to help existing and proposed programs within the wing. During the CFC open season, please enter our number, #26757, and help support Civil Air Patrol in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area.
