Angel Flight Annual Golf Tourney
Nov 4 Leesburg, FL

 

Was a GREAT SUCCESS!!  A lot of work went into this fundraiser, Thank You Bruce Brown for making it a great success. We raised thousands of dollars and had a great time doing it. Thanks as well to all of our players and generous sponsors.

 

Hundreds of balls dropped on the chipping green

There was a lot of fun had by all.  Lots of laughs, great weather (in the afternoon) and the 1st annual ball drop was great.  The winner of the ball drop was Erik Wendt.  His ball actually made it into the hole, so instead of being the closest he got a "hole-in-one." Erik also donated his share of the raffle back to Angel Flight- thanks Erik!

Volunteer Recognition Luncheon
Saturday, December 10, 2011

12pm-4pm 

Headquarters: Leesburg Airport, Leesburg, Florida.
Mark your calendars!

We want to thank all of our volunteers; the ones who fly and the ones who work on the ground. This is a great time to meet new friends and put a face to the names you see all the time.  Come enjoy a delicious lunch, social time and a tour of our headquarters. 
RSVP "here."

 

Pilot spotlight

These are the very special pilots that volunteered to take one or more of our many weekly missions.

It is so great to see a transplant mission on this list, this always gives us here at headquarters a great feeling of graditude to the pilot and relief to the passenger.

Volunteers needed 
Greetings!
 
Grant writers
Do you write well? This is an area we really need some help. Prior grant writing experience is not necessary! We've already prepared our main project plan (Passengers, Pilots & Participation), but now need to complete two more, and apply to a number of foundations that can help our organization reach its next level of goals.
 
Thank You to pilot Attilio DiMarco for volunteering! We need more please!

Event volunteers
Please see the events scheduled in the left hand column. We need drivers, people to man our booths, help growing our wings and more!
If you'd like to chair your own event, we'd be thrilled! Just let us know.
 
For any of these positions, or to chair your own event please call the office at:
