Mission Statement
To honor the courageous men and women who have served to protect our freedoms by providing financial support for those agencies responsible for their care and nurture. Our core focus is assisting the wounded, injured and disabled – both Active Duty and Veterans, within the East Texas Region.
CCVF has been established to raise monies to assist with the physical and emotional recovery and rehabilitation of wounded, injured, and disabled military personnel and veterans with a focus on those individuals residing in and organizations serving the Northeast Texas region. The three charities supported by CCVF also assist with the needs of spouses and other family members.
The principal fundraising activities for CCVF are the Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake airshow and the annual golf classic. Currently, CCVF supports Fisher House, Camp V, and the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. Please scroll down to learn more about these amazing charities.
CCVF is operated through an all-volunteer group of directors and officers and all proceeds from the fundraisers are distributed to our supported charities. CCVF is a 501 (C)(3) organization. 2024 CCVF Form 990
