What should C/Cs do before participating in a charity event?

Before participating in a charity event, it is essential for Cadet Candidates (C/Cs) to coordinate with their Squadron's Programs Officer (Sq PP) for approval. This step ensures that the event aligns with the guidelines and standards of the Air Force Academy. The Sq PP is responsible for overseeing programs and activities, and obtaining their approval helps maintain the integrity and structure of cadet involvement in external activities. This process reinforces the importance of accountability and adherence to policies within the academy framework, allowing for organized and authorized participation in events that reflect positively on the institution.

Consulting peers, seeking family permission, or posting details online may not ensure that the event complies with academy standards or that it has been deemed appropriate for cadet involvement, which underscores the necessity of going through the proper approval channels.
