History and Overview
The Fashion for Fighters Foundation was founded May 2015 by President Chris Decker[3]. This foundation has three major goals: support injured and retired military personnel, provide resources not funded by the government or through community avenues, and increase awareness for the needs of military members through fashion venues[1][2].
The Fashion for Fighters Foundation hosts an annual Gala every spring. The first Gala was held in May 2015 in Washington D.C.[1], the second in April 2016 also in Washington D.C.[4], and the third in June 2017 at the Embassy of New Zealand, Washington, D.C.[5][6]. The fourth Gala was held in May 2018 at Springfield Golf & Country Club [7]. Gala proceeds go to disabled Veterans in need and to fundraise for the Navy Safe Harbor Foundation.
