DPCF chairman, Delta F/O Joe Houseman, stated “It is our privilege to support ICYO’s valuable mission with funds raised entirely through the generosity of the Delta pilots,” as represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l. Houseman was joined by DPCF board members F/O Bren Fries, F/O Chuck Albers, Capt. Kingsley Roberts, and Delta MEC chairman Capt. Tim O’Malley to present the check to ICYO founders Philip and Jeanne Bell.
The mission of Inner City Youth Opportunities is to teach practical life skills to develop responsible, educated and caring youth. Inner City Youth Opportunities provides a safe and structured environment for inner-city children (grades K-6) of low-income families after school and during the summer.
The Delta Pilots Charitable Fund is managed and funded entirely by Delta pilots. The DPCF has donated over $1 million to a variety of charities that help America’s most valuable resource—our children. The fund was formed in 1999 as a philanthropic, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) fund, which supports charitable activities and leaves a permanent legacy for future generations in communities where Delta pilots live and work.
Thanks guys. At least one part of the Delta family is trying to help out in Cincinnati.
