That Others May Live Foundation is planning an event at the Veterans Memorial Center on 10/22/19 and is looking to get the word out! They will have a keynote speaker, and Major Cathleen Snow from Patrick AF Base will also be present.

That Others May Live Foundation provides support, scholarships, and immediate tragedy assistance for the families of United States Air Force Rescue Heroes who are killed or severely wounded in operation or training missions. Currently, they are raising funds to help with college expenses for those who lost a parent while conducting operational and training rescues operations. These funds are used to cover tuition, housing, books, computers, supplies and fees. Each student is capped at $20,000 per year and $80,000 for their entire education program.
