Positive Impact

The money raised over the years has allowed AFM to continue to help women and girls in need across the globe! These are organizations that are close to the hearts of members. The money that has been raised has gone to charities we have worked with within the countries we have visited, as well as your own local charities.
AFM was able to support these amazing organizations and others because of YOU!
