Please HELP THESE KIDS get presents.

FedEx Pilot's Charitable Fund

Fellow Pilots and Families,

The holidays will be quickly approaching us, and we, your FDX MEC, Officers and Staff are asking for your help to support the FedEx Pilot’s Charitable Fund! This Fund is set up to provide monetary support around the world towards child related activities. In Memphis, the Fund focuses on the FedEx Family House and the Hope House, and in Indianapolis the Fund is engaged in supporting a pilot-themed room at the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

The FedEx Family House has housed over 40,000 families since 2010 whose children are facing life-altering medical treatment at LeBonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis. For over four years FDX ALPA has assisted the FedEx Family House in gathering toys for children. Sadly, the FedEx Family House is telling us that if they can’t get the toys this year they might have to forgo the annual Holiday Village, where the families of children in the House are allowed to pick out toys for Christmas. Our goal is to provide at least 200 toys and a monetary contribution to FedEx Family House.

In addition, FDX ALPA has supported the Hope House here in Memphis for over 15 years. Hope House provides high quality early childhood education and social services for over 150 families a year affected by HIV/AIDS, and provides gifts to over 50 families during the holidays. Each year, FDX ALPA has provided a minimum of 15 holiday meals, has adopted a family to bring Christmas joy in the form of clothing and toys, and has provided a monetary contribution to Hope House to support their efforts.

This is how you can you help:
Go to FedEx Pilot’s Charitable Fund and donate a minimum of $10.

Another way to contribute to this worthwhile cause is AmazonSmile. For every dollar spent using this program, Amazon will donate 0.5% to your choice of charity. Please register on AmazonSmile with the FedEx Pilot’s Charitable Fund as your charity. Then, each and every time you purchase from Amazon use smile.amazon.com and not amazon.com. It will take $2,000 in purchases to equal $10, but every dollar counts.

Bring a toy by the FDX ALPA office at 1770 Kirby Parkway, Suite 300 in Memphis.

Please take a few moments of your time and help support the FedEx Pilot’s Charitable Fund. Everyday can be a struggle for these children who are undergoing life- threatening illnesses. They typically are not afforded the life many of us enjoy.

From all of us, a heartfelt thank you!
