The Foundation kicked off its year-end campaign with the launch of the AMA Foundation for the Future Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes is open to anyone older than 18 living in the US. One of our supporters, Dr. Kendall Wagner of California, graciously donated a ride in his P-51 Mustang to help the AMA Foundation raise money for the many programs it supports. Congratulations to Nathan Metzler (Davis, CA), winner of this year’s AMA Foundation for the Future Sweepstakes.
We participated in #GivingTuesday on November 28, 2017. Our theme this year was “there will be pies in the sky.” Several AMA employees shared what their “slice of the pie” is at AMA and how they contribute to the work. They were pied in the face each hour as goals were met. Check out our Facebook page to watch videos from the day. Thank you to those who supported and participated!
As always, you can support the AMA Foundation by shopping on AmazonSmile. When you are shopping this year, shop with AmazonSmile, select the AMA Foundation as your charity, and Amazon contributes a portion back to us.
Another great way to support the AMA is by purchasing a brick in the Walk of Fame. AMA bricks are often purchased as gifts, in memory of loved ones, to celebrate an achievement, or just to support our great cause.
Donations to the AMA Foundation provide funding to continue to build current programming and create new programs. Your support will help ensure that model flying continues as a well-respected hobby and sport, while encouraging it as an activity that will support the future.
On behalf of the entire AMA and AMA Foundation team we would like to thank everyone for helping us achieve our 2017 fundraising goal! Thanks to your generous support we raised more than $231,000 for AMA’s benevolent programs.
