The Israeli Paratroopers fund
The "Paratroopers Fund" emerged from a group of "crazy people" who gathered after the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War around values of comradeship and devotion to the families of the fallen. In the first period, the group operated independently and without formal structure. When the need arose to streamline the activity and raise funds, an association was established called "The foundation for the families of the fallen paratroopers."
