Mission
At Children of Fallen Heroes, we honor the courage and sacrifice of our nation's fallen heroes by providing comprehensive support to their children, caregivers, and their communities. We inspire children to become skilled future leaders through STEM+arts programs, counseling, and financial assistance, ensuring their families' sacrifices are never forgotten.
💔 Embracing Purpose Through Loss 💖
Throughout my life's journey, I've encountered heartache, loss, and countless challenges, shaping my path and leading me to a profound purpose. With a background in owning Salons and Spas, Tech Marketing Consulting, and Construction Development, I've garnered invaluable skills. However, spurred by tragedy, including the loss of my father and 13 members of the US Army Parachute Team, Golden Knights, in 1973, and my boy in 2020, I've pivoted to serving a greater cause. Despite the shattered pieces of my heart, I strive to honor their legacies by dedicating myself to helping others.
Activities
Some of our activities include indoor skydiving, pop-up STEM events, and programs focused on robotics and drone technology. The organization also facilitates agricultural and wildlife rescue activities, aviation experiences, equine programs, kids' golf, fishing, and scuba diving opportunities.
Community Outreach
The Children of Fallen Heroes Parachute Team performs world-class demonstrations at events across the United States, complemented by our pop-up STEM events. Through these community outreach events, we can effectively showcase the various programs and opportunities available to local communities, fostering a lasting impact and raising awareness for our cause across the country.
Looking Ahead
We have acquired 82 acres of land near Fort Liberty in Moore County, NC and will soon start the development of a 73,000 sqft Children of Fallen Heroes Retreat and STEM+Arts Education Center designed to be a place of solace and growth, providing a safe haven for the families of our fallen military, first responders, foster kids, caregivers, and a variety of community outreach programs.
SUMMER POP UP STEM+Arts CLASSES
Our programs are open to the public, welcoming both kids and adults to participate in a variety of engaging activities. Proceeds from these programs benefit children of fallen heroes, foster kids, caregivers, and the wider community. Participants can enjoy indoor skydiving, pop-up STEM events, and programs centered on robotics and drone technology. Additionally, we offer agricultural and wildlife rescue activities, aviation experiences, equine programs, as well as opportunities for kids to explore golf, fishing, and scuba diving.

I am beyond proud of Kayla Fournier, the visionary behind Halo Beauty Co. LLC. She and her dedicated team organized an Introduction to Basic Makeup Application fundraiser, rallying support for Holly, a hairstylist and cherished volunteer at Children of Fallen Heroes. Remarkably, every single penny raised is directed towards Holly's recovery following her recent shoulder surgery. Kayla's unwavering commitment to community and compassion shines brightly through this initiative.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants and donors whose generosity and support made this fundraiser a resounding success. Your contributions will make a tangible difference in Holly's journey to recovery, offering her comfort and strength during this challenging time. Thank you for embodying the spirit of kindness and solidarity that defines our community.
