1st Fighter Association F-15 Static Display Funding Campaign Kicks Off!
|
|
1st Fighter Wing Association has already pledged $10,000 to the static project, other pledges are $37,000.27, only $3,000.71 to go!
Now is the time to take action and demonstrate the Association's total commitment to this initiative! The Initiative Committee has a few money raising DOD and non-DOD irons in the fire which may or may not materialize but we cannot wait on the hypothetical, we need to move forward and identify funds that may be available if needed. The Association Board has pledged $10k from the Heritage Endowment Fund toward the project. The current cost estimate is $47K with no margin for any estimate error. To be on the safe side we would like to raise a total of $50K to have a small margin for unanticipated expenses. To that end this notice formally kicks off the Association's Funding Campaign requesting monetary pledges for the construction of the memorial. Individual donations are crucial to meet the $50k goal. To that end, we have established the following Contribution Levels:
|
Wingman - $1 to $99
Flight Lead - $100 to $499 Flight Commander - $500 to $999 |
Squadron Commander - $1000 to $4999
Group Commander - $5000 to $9999 Wing Commander - $10,000 plus |
Those contributing at the Flight Commander and above donation level will receive personal invitations for two to a pre-dedication dinner and have VIP seating at the F-15 dedication ceremony.
If the donations exceed our $50,000 goal, the excess will go to the 1st Fighter Association Heritage Endowment Fund. Additionally, if for any reason the Static Project is cancelled the Association will return your donation.
Please let us know the amount you intend to donate by e-mail to Pete Marty at 1stfighter@comcast.net.
The Association is a 503[c] [19] tax exempt veteran organization which makes your contribution tax deductible.
We expect to call for your actual donation (by check) in the mid-August to mid-September time frame. Your pledge e-mail should include the following:
Full Name
Name in which the donation will be made if different from yours
E-mail Address
Amount of Donation Pledged
