The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation provides college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. Approximately 25,000 children have lost an active duty parent in the military over the last 35 years. Of those, 97% of casualties are men, leaving behind single mothers to care for their families, and 60% report having trouble making ends meet. According to the foundation, $625 million is needed nationwide to cover the gap between government assistance and the actual cost of a degree. Since 2002, Fallen Patriots has provided more than $55 million in total assistance to more than 2,200 military children with more than 900 graduates.

Every time a worker in, the oil and gas, construction, wind energy, transportation, material handling, and manufacturing industries across the US participates in a Crosby Group training event or completes the User's Guide for Lifting online training course in September or October, they can know that they are playing a part to help secure a better future for children of Veterans who lost their lives. There are a few ways you can get involved:
