This is a quick reminder that we are participating in Give to the Max Day which launches TODAY! Make your donation to the CAF Red Tail Squadron via the Give to the Max campaign anytime between November 1 and November 12.

 

This 24-hour extravaganza of generosity is a statewide fundraising initiative for schools and non-profit organization in Minnesota. The funds we raise benefit our entire national educational outreach program, which includes the P-51C Mustang, our RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit and resource materials for teachers and youth leaders everywhere. And online gifts raised during the event will have the opportunity to receive matching grants, helping to make your giving go further!

Give to the Max day is officially Thursday November 12, but you can visit our page and make your donation now, selecting the specific program you would like to support:

– Help us maintain our inspirational P-51C Mustang aircraft!

– Help us get 250 Resource Kits into the classrooms who need to hear about the Tuskegee Airmen!

– Get the Six Principles of the Tuskegee Airmen into the hands of youth across the country!

Join us and RISE ABOVE!

 

The CAF Red Tail Squadron is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to educating audiences across the country about the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel. Learn more at www.redtail.org.
