Former TACAMO Commodores Team Up with Del City and Midwest City for 4th Annual Susan Rogers Giving Fund Event

Oklahoma City, OK — On November 22, 2024, a group of former TACAMO Commodores joined forces with representatives from Del City and Midwest City for the 4th Annual Memorial Susan Rogers Giving Fund, an event dedicated to supporting the TACAMO Kids Christmas Party. The generous donation was presented to Commodore Britt Windeler and the First Class Association at NAS Tinker’s Wing in Oklahoma City, marking a special occasion and a significant contribution to the holiday celebrations of local military families.

The event, described as a "great Navy Day" at NAS Tinker, was a testament to the community’s commitment to supporting its military families. The donation will directly fund the annual TACAMO Kids Christmas Party, a beloved tradition that brings holiday joy to children of military personnel stationed at Tinker Air Force Base.
