We are happy to announce that we have again been invited to participate in GiveMN’s Give to the Max Day 24-hour extravaganza of generosity, a statewide fundraising initiative for schools and non-profit organization in Minnesota, the location of our home office. 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!

Thursday November 12 is the day to help raise much needed funds Minnesota-based charities and schools, but the good news you can make your donation to the CAF Red Tail Squadron via the Give to the Max campaign anytime between November 1 and November 12.

Visit our Give to the Max page and select the specific program you would like to support. There are three options:

– 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!

Making a donation during this special online event from November 1 through November 12 will also allow you plenty of time to add it to your list of 2015 charitable, tax-deductible contributions! 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.
