Our History & Impact
Children of Fallen Heroes (CFH) was established to honor the sacrifice of military and first responder families by investing in the potential of their children. What began as an aviation-rooted tribute has evolved into a national movement serving foster youth, caregivers, and Title One Schools through leadership, STEM+Arts innovation, and generational opportunity.
Participation in the Grand Opening at Tryon International with the Special Forces Association Parachute Team marked the earliest public expression of the vision that would become Children of Fallen Heroes.
The organization was formally incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, launching structured initiatives dedicated to honoring fallen heroes by providing direct support to the families they left behind.
Following a profound personal loss within the organization, the mission broadened to include foster youth, caregivers, and Title One Schools, strengthening our commitment to underserved communities nationwide.
CFH was honored with the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) Pinnacle Platinum Performer of the Year award, recognizing excellence in professional aviation and industry leadership.
CFH secured 82 prime acres in Moore County, North Carolina—strategically located near Fort Liberty and Pinehurst—establishing the permanent home for our national hub of healing and innovation.
In partnership with Swift Robotics, CFH-supported students earned the North Carolina Inspire Award and advanced to the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, demonstrating our commitment to elite STEM education.
The CFH NEXT GEN Dynamic Team secured multiple Junior National Championships and a Silver Medal at the Dynamic Junior World Championship, showcasing elite generational leadership development.
CFH mobilized aviation and logistics partnerships to provide critical aid to communities in Western North Carolina, proving our operational capacity for large-scale crisis response.
Celebrating more than 10 years of service and over 15,000 youth supported, CFH enters a new phase of growth focused on the physical development of the Legacy Campus.
