Sammy
Rabbit is a Financial Education initiative initially introduced by AFAS in 2007
to address the spike in financial assistance requests from service members and
their families. Offered under AFAS’s Community Enhancement programs for Youth/Spouses,
this successful initiative targets youth (preschoolers and up) and their families
and offers military families a "Savings Message" that contributes to
stronger financial education programs nationwide.
In 2009, AFAS worked with Airman and Family Readiness Centers to bring Sammy the
Rabbit to 12 bases. Over 7,000 children and adults participated in the interactive
presentations. For more information about "Sammy Rabbit", please visit

Students,
teachers and parents all agree that Sam Renick’s program is very valuable, educational
and fun. Sammy knows how to reach our kids. Our thanks to the Air Force Aid Society for
sponsoring the program at Moron AB.
