Army Emergency Relief
Annual Campaign
Each year the U.S. Army conducts a fundraising campaign in support of Army Emergency Relief.
As we continue to commit Soldiers to meet worldwide operational requirements, there is an
increased need for the resources provided by Army Emergency Relief. Last year, AER provided
$79 million in assistance to over 71,000 Soldiers and their Families.
AER financial support allows our Soldiers to focus on the mission and be better prepared to fight
and win our nation's wars. By providing financial assistance for emergency needs, support to
surviving Families of Fallen Soldiers, and grants to widows and Wounded Warriors, Army
Emergency Relief is "Helping Maintain ARMY STRONG"
This valuable assistance is made possible through campaign donations. The AER fundraising
campaign is an opportunity for Soldiers to help their fellow Soldiers, and donation made today will
help to meet the needs of Soldiers and Families tomorrow. In order for AER to maintain the same
high standards of "Helping Maintain ARMY STRONG" we ask that you join us in contributing to the
2010 Army Emergency Relief Campaign.
To make a donation please contact
