Our Chapter is currently raising funds to give
$500 scholarships to our Arizona Military
stationed on bases outside of the U.S.
These scholarships are given on a first come
first serve basis to our military coming home
on leave, specifically to reduce the cost of
airfare. These scholarships are limited to 1
per year.

If you would like to be an Angel, we are
accepting donations towards airfare.

We have many Arizona military stationed on
Bases outside of the continental U.S.
Congress has asked air carriers to give
military fare to all active duty personnel but it
is not required of them. Our military does not
have the advantage of flexible leave dates or
enough advance notice to get the same deals
offered to the average citizen. Just to come
home for Christmas, many will pay in excess
of $1000. These same men and women don't
make much more than that a month.

We are currently trying to work with our
hometown airline or any other airline that is
willing to give our military low or discounted
airfare.

We are a 501c3 organization so your
donation is tax deductible.

Angels
These are local members of
our Arizona community who
have volunteered to bring
home at least one - sometimes
2 or more - military personnel
stationed on bases outside the
continental US. If you know
any of them - give them a big
military mom hug from us.
