AFJROTC OH - 871 is proud to highlight the extraordinary work our cadets have accomplished this year - and why your support is essential to sustaining their growth.

Our cadets completed 27 community service events, serving Columbus and Central Ohio with pride and purpose. Together, they contributed 3,184.20 hours of service, averaging 35.78 hours per cadet. These hours reflect real commitment, compassion, and leadership in action.

Cadets also participated in 138 Leadership Development Activities, sharpening their discipline, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. These activities totaled 5,987.25 hours, averaging 67.26 hours per cadet — time invested in becoming stronger leaders, better students, and more capable citizens.

What makes this impact even more meaningful is that 80% of what we are able to accomplish - and the opportunities we provide our servant-leaders to develop, excel academically, and explore aerospace pathways - is funded through private donations and sponsorships.

Your support directly fuels:

• Leadership development
• Academic excellence
• Community service
• Field trips, competitions, and recognition
• Exposure to aerospace, aviation, and STEM careers

To help sustain these opportunities, we are asking families, alumni, and community partners to consider the following suggested donation targets:

$25

  ---Sponsor one cadet for a key activity each year

$50

--- Supports leadership and service projects

$100+

--- Funds advanced opportunities, competitions, recognition, and STEM enrichment

Any amount helps -- even $1 makes a difference

Every contribution strengthens the future of our cadets and ensures OH-871 continues to grow leaders who serve with integrity, courage, and excellence.

Thank you for supporting AFJROTC OH-871 and the next generation of leaders.

Thank you for your support and let me know if there is anything else you may need from me to make it happen.
