Thanks to Mike Brady, GM of the Madison Green Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fl and Jeff Conine of the Florida Marlins we are just one month away from our inaugural golf tournament with these two charities.
 
Players will have the chance to shoot a round of golf with a sports celebrity. The proceeds are being split to help Angel Flight Southeast continue its mission of "Arranging free flights for children & adults to have access to the far-from-home doctors that can save their lives" and the Conine Clubhouse, named in honor of World Series champion Jeff Conine and his family. The Conine Clubhouse opened in May 1997 to serve as a "home away from home" for families of children receiving medical care at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Here, families can stay free of charge (based on availability) in a comfortable and nurturing environment. Since opening, the Conine Clubhouse has housed many families from across the United States and other countries.

Volunteer opportunities:

Work-from-home phone opportunity: We need some volunteers to make calls to our social workers in the 644 healthcare facilities in our region. This is a critical function! This is one of the best ways for our passenger-patients to find out about our services. We need to update our list, educate the social workers of our fantastic service and send them our shiny new tri-fold brochures which will be printed soon. 

Question, comments or concerns?
Contact us at (352) 326-0761
