News and Announcements
It has come to our attention that an email was sent out from Stiofan Buach (stiofanbuach) with the subject line URGENT MESSAGE - MUST READ BEFORE PARENTS' WEEKEND. This message was then signed USAFA COLORADO PARENTS' CLUB. Please know that this message was NOT sent from the Colorado Parents' Club. We do not know who this person is, and definitely do not endorse his message. The mission of the Colorado Parents' Club is to " provide an avenue for parents and guardians to enrich The Academy experience of all Colorado cadets and Academy community." Everything we do is to fulfill this mission, and the statements from Stiofan Buach do not contribute to that. We hope that all of you recognized this fraud and that an email like this would never come from the USAFA Colorado Parents' Club.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Tailgate and Football Game | October 9, 2021
We hope you can join us on Saturday, September 25th from 2:15 - 4:15 pm at our tailgate to cheer on the AF Falcons in their game against Wyoming.
The CPC tailgate site is the only non-cadet site within the cadet tailgate area. Use your CPC name tag to gain entry through one of the access gates to the cadet area, or have your cadet escort you through one of the gates.
As a friendly reminder, the cadet tailgate area is a no-alcohol area. We are fortunate our tailgate is included in the cadet cordon zone and do not want to forfeit our coveted spot for failing to comply with this policy! Thanks for your understanding and support!
As usual, the CPC will provide the main dish (typically burgers and hot dogs) and water. All we ask is that you please sign up to bring side dishes, desserts and other drinks. We can't pull off these fun events without your help--our volunteers are the best and we are always grateful for any time you can give! Please see the sign-up to volunteer and RSVP at this link: Sign-up for 9/25/21 Tailgating.
Don't forget your name tag to gain access to the CPC tailgate area! CPC tailgates are in Lot 4 in the secured cadet area (SEE TAILGATE MAP ) Please read the additional Tailgate Information...

SUPPORT THE COLORADO PARENT'S CLUB
#1: Join - our strength is in our numbers. Aside from tailgating and all the cool one-of-a-kind gifts, it is a great way to serve and give back to those at the Academy. It is a great way to meet other Academy parents and forge friendships that will last beyond the Academy years.
#2: Get a Goodie Bag for your Cadet - Put a smile on your cadet during some of the most stressful times with a bag full of Snacks and AF logo novelty items made especially for each Goodie Bag edition. Goodie Bags are our primary fundraiser, and Goodie Bag sales enable us to host the annual I-Day picnic, tailgates, cadet awards, and all of our other events. Without Goodie Bag sales, there is less that we are able to do.
#3: Buy a Goodie Bag for another Cadet - many cadets do not have parents that are able to participate. Support the club and enhance the experience of other cadets by donating a Goodie Bag.
#4: Volunteer - the fundraiser is great and crucial to our mission, but so are you. Help us enhance the experience of your cadet, all Colorado cadets, and even all new parents as we host the I-Day picnic, assemble and deliver Goodie Bags, and other services/events throughout the year.
