The 2012 Charity Golf Classic is scheduled for Monday, May 14 11am at the Feather Sound County Club in Clearwater, FL.

"Run for the Angels" - a great event!

Pilots: Please send your photos via your smart-phones to: info@mercymail.org. We'll get them posted on our social networks so we get some additional PR.

Thank you for all of your time and energy.

We need some assistance!

The summer months tend to be especially lean for fundraising, and we are hard at work trying to find creative ways to raise much needed funds in this environment.

Here are some ways you can help, if you can't write a check yourself:

Do you know any Foundations you can recommend to us?
Do you know anyone who would be willing to put Angel Flight in their will?
Do you work for a company that does planned giving, such as payroll deductions?

Any leads are greatly appreciated! Please call the office at (352) 326-0761 x1500

Vehicle donations

Did you know Angel Flight Southeast accepts cars, boats and even airplanes for donations? A very special donor gave us his wife's old car as a donation to make sure we keep reaching out and letting people know of our services, answer the phones for emergency and non-emergency calls 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and coordinate and re-coordinate thousands of flight each year!

To donate a vehicle, just give us a call at (352) 326-0761
