退伍军人基金会启动第15届配捐活动：目标2000万美元，年底前捐款逐笔翻倍
11月1日，非营利组织 Semper Fi & America's Fund（下称「该基金会」）宣布启动第15届「Double Down for Veterans」年度配捐活动，与 Bob 与 Renee Parsons 基金会及高尔夫品牌 PXG 合作，目标筹款2,000万美元，用于支持重伤、重病和受伤的美国军人、退伍军人及其家庭。
即日起至2026年12月31日，公众向该基金会的每一笔捐款，都将由 Bob 与 Renee Parsons 基金会和 PXG 逐美元配捐，配捐上限为1,000万美元。
该活动自2012年创办以来，已累计为基金会带来近2.75亿美元善款，其中 Parsons 基金会的配捐达1.18亿美元，其余来自全美数千名捐款人。
基金会创始人兼首席执行官 Karen Guenther 表示：「二十多年来，我们亲眼看到军人和他们家庭的需求会随时间变化，但不会凭空消失。Bob 与 Renee 通过这一非凡的合作，让我们能够在需求出现时及时在场——无论是明天、五年后，还是几十年后。这样的承诺能改变人生。」
数据显示，仅2026财年，就有5,600名军人首次获得该基金会支持，创下基金会2004年成立以来的最高纪录。自2004年以来，该基金会已提供近6亿美元的补助、项目与服务，帮助了超过45,000名军人和退伍军人以及100,000名家庭成员。
Bob Parsons 是美国海军陆战队越战老兵。他说：「我自己当过海军陆战队员，深知战争的毁灭性影响。那些为国家付出一切的男女军人，理应知道在他们最需要的时候我们会在场，他们永远不会孤单、不会被遗忘。」其妻、Parsons 基金会联合创始人 Renee Parsons 表示，最珍贵的是每年都有成千上万的人为退伍军人和他们的家庭敞开心扉。
公众可通过该基金会官网参与捐款，配捐期至今年12月31日截止。
Semper Fi & America's Fund Launches 15th Annual Double Down Match: $20 Million Goal, Donations Matched Through December 31
On November 1, the nonprofit Semper Fi & America's Fund launched its 15th annual Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign, in partnership with The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG, aiming to raise $20 million to support critically wounded, ill, and injured U.S. service members, veterans, and military families.
Now through December 31, 2026, every donation to The Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $10 million, by The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG.
Since the campaign began in 2012, it has generated nearly $275 million for The Fund's mission, fueled by $118 million in match gifts from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and thousands of donors nationwide.
"For more than two decades, we have seen firsthand that the needs of our service members and their families change over time, but they don't simply disappear," said Karen Guenther, founder and CEO of Semper Fi & America's Fund. "What Bob and Renee have made possible through this extraordinary partnership is the ability to be there when those needs arise, whether that is tomorrow, five years from now, or decades from now. That kind of commitment changes lives."
In fiscal 2026 alone, 5,600 service members received support from The Fund for the first time, the highest number since its inception in 2004. Since 2004, The Fund has delivered nearly $600 million in grants, programs, and services, assisting over 45,000 service members and veterans and 100,000 family members.
Bob Parsons, a U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran, said: "Having served as a U.S. Marine, I know firsthand the devastating impacts of war. The men and women who put everything on the line for our country deserve to know that we'll be there when they need us most. That they're never alone, never forgotten." Renee Parsons, co-founder of the foundation, said what she treasures most is the thousands of people who show up for veterans and their families year after year.
Donations can be made through The Fund's website, with matching available through December 31.
