We have an impact through our Family Collaborative Programs, by Serving those who serve.

Meet Maddy Perez - Scholarship Recipient

Maddy Perez

Maddy is one of the hundreds of our Scholarship Recipients. We are here to ensure the family members of those who serve in the 160th can learn, grow and prosper in whatever path they choose. We are proud to serve those who serve.

Service in the 160th is a calling only a few will answer because the mission is constantly demanding and hard. A Night Stalker's service commitment also has a direct impact on their ability to provide education opportunities for their family.

The Foundation continues to lead impactful events focused on achieving our mission of: supporting the Families of the Fallen; supporting the Soldiers and families of the 160th; providing scholarships for deserving students and preserving the rich history of the Night Stalkers.

Night Stalkers Don't Quit!
