Membership Dues

Fighter Country Foundation is in the process of updating our CRM and BBS dues payment link. Please contact Brooke Christainson if you need to make a payment right now. Our goal is to have a new payment link available here by February 2024.

BBS member dues can be paid below using our new donor platform, Bloomerang. Bloomerang uses our secure global payment processor, Stripe to process transactions.

If you previously set up recurring BBS dues payments from our old system, Donorobox You can stop payment anytime by managing your account at donorbox.org.

Code of Conduct

What sets us apart is what we do and how we do it. We are a unique organization that has the opportunity to serve the men and women that serve us.  We have unique access that allows us to be more effective than any other civilian military support organization.  With that unique access we also have incredible responsibility to our organization Fighter Country Foundation, the airmen we serve and operational security to the base.  For any reason or no reason our special relationship with Luke AFB can be terminated.  Participation in the organization’s programs is subject to the observance of the organization’s rules and procedures.

Please use the button below to read and sign the BBS Code of Conduct. This is mandatory for all members of Fighter Country Foundation’s Blue Blazer Squadron. Failure to sign the Code of Conduct may result in termination of your membership including any and all privileges.

BBS Membership Application

Enrollment is now open for the 2023 Blue Blazer Squadron (BBS) class. Enrollment is only open to Luke AFB Honorary Commander Alumni who have successfully completed their two-year term at Luke.  This “alumni organization” managed under the direction of Fighter Country Foundation (FCF) is a tremendous opportunity to become involved with FCF as it continues its unprecedented support of the men, women, families, and mission of Luke AFB.

Learn more and apply at the BBS Invitation page before the January 19th, 2023 deadline.

BBS Private Facebook Group

This is the private FB Group for FCF and BBS to get information that isn’t necessarily published on our public pages. Items like event updates, calls to action and general sharing of ideas. This channel is for people that are officially part of Fighter Country Foundation (Board, Staff, Blue Blazers and any military members that are deemed necessary by FCF). Also, please be careful not to post anything that may be frowned upon if observed by military leadership and/or could be potentially damaging to a service member or their family.
