Cadets at the United States Air Force Academy commit themselves to a rigorous path of service, academic excellence, and physical endurance. When a cadet faces a life-altering medical diagnosis, the demands of Academy life can become overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and socially.

The Sent to Live Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the safety net for these cadets by:

• Providing individualized support resources that help cadets navigate medical challenges while preserving their academic standing, military status, and mental health.

• Collaborating with Academy leadership and medical teams to identify and address gaps in continuity of care.

• Promoting compassionate policies and advocacy so that no cadet feels alone while managing serious illness.

• Offering outreach and connection to families, ensuring they feel informed, supported, and empowered during their cadet’s medical journey.

Through this pillar, the Foundation aims to ensure that every cadet facing illness is met with understanding, coordination, and unwavering support.
