When is the Army-wide AER annual fund campaign held?

The Army Emergency Relief (AER) annual fund campaign is held from March 1 to May 15 each year. This timing is significant because it aligns with a period of increased awareness and focus on fundraising for AER, which provides financial assistance to soldiers in need. The campaign includes various activities designed to encourage contributions from soldiers, families, and civilians, fostering a culture of support and solidarity within the Army community. Additionally, the springtime timeframe allows for outreach and education about the programs AER offers, ensuring soldiers and their families are informed about the resources available to them in times of financial hardship. This period allows the Army to maximize participation and contributions toward this valuable support program.
