Winnipeg, MB – On September 26th, a significant contribution was made to the 17 Wing community as Colonel Hanson, the Wing Commander, received a cheque for $153,745. This generous donation will benefit the Wing Fund, which supports a variety of morale and welfare activities for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and their families.
The funds were raised through the dedicated patronage of CAF members at CANEX, the retail operations that serve military personnel, and through the services accessed via SISIP Financial, which provides financial solutions tailored to the needs of the military community.
Colonel Hanson expressed her gratitude during the presentation ceremony, highlighting the importance of such contributions in enhancing the quality of life for service members and their families. “This donation is a testament to the strong community spirit and the unwavering support for our personnel. It will go a long way in funding activities and programs that boost morale and welfare,” she said.
The Wing Fund plays a crucial role in organizing events, recreational activities, and support services that foster a sense of community and well-being among CAF members. The cheque presentation underscores the collective effort of the military community and their commitment to supporting one another.
As the cheque was handed over, there was a palpable sense of pride and camaraderie among those present, reflecting the positive impact of the Wing Fund on the lives of many. This contribution is not just a financial boost but a symbol of the ongoing support and appreciation for the sacrifices made by CAF members and their families.
