Year-End Message

December 2010-

As we reach the end of 2010, all of us at Patient AirLift Services want to extend our best wishes for your Holiday Season. We end the year on a high note, having crossed the 100-flight threshold several weeks back. In our inaugural partial year, we have flown patients and passengers 50,000 miles—for free! We have 80 pilots and growing, supported by two full-time and three part-time employees, and a diverse twelve-member Board.

Our publicity exposure was nothing short of remarkable. Many local newspapers and television stations featured us. In addition, we were in the Greater New York section of the Wall Street Journal, and in a 7-page spread in Greenwich magazine. Amazing!

Our fundraising efforts in 2010 were likewise successful. In 2011 we will not only repeat our fall Connecticut Fundraiser (see articles below), we will also host Wings N Wheels on the grounds of the Bridgeport Airport the weekend before Memorial Day, and present a Hunter-Jumper equestrian event later in the year at an exclusive Bedminster, NJ facility.

You can stay current with our most recent news by visiting us often here on the web at www.palservices.org, or at our Patient AirLift Services Facebook page. We are still very much in need of volunteers of all kinds…pilots of course, but also CarPals who can help transport our patients from the airports to their healthcare appointment and volunteers to work at our events. You may volunteer by completing an application on our website, or get more information on the telephone by calling us toll-free at 888-818-1231.

Have a Healthy and Happy New Year!
