Business Jet Cares Raises $30,000 for Veteran Charities and Supports A Christmas to Remember for Five Dallas Families

Business Jet Cares, the 501(c)(3) charitable organization created by Dallas Love Field’s (KDAL) Business Jet Center and Business Jet Access, was able to continue longstanding partnerships with Folds of Honor, Patriot Paws Service Dogs and a Dallas ISD elementary school in 2020, raising funds in support of their mission and also for the 7th Annual A Christmas to Remember.

Due to COVID-19, Business Jet Cares had to postpone the 8th Annual Cleared to Land on the Green Charity Golf Tournament to the fall of 2021. However, with lead matching gifts from Business Jet Center and Business Jet Access, Cares was successful in raising $30,000 to split between Folds of Honor and Patriot Paws Service Dogs, each supporting families of military veterans by providing assistance through educational scholarships or the training and provision of service dogs.

In addition to the Annual Golf Tournament, Business Jet Cares also partners with a local Dallas Elementary School each year for A Christmas to Remember. Business Jet Cares was able to raise nearly $10,000 to support five families in Dallas with their greatest household needs such as cleaning supplies, furniture, cookware, clothing and appliances, along with Christmas wishes for the children including toys, games, bikes, scooters, electronics and more. Thanks to the contributions of over 30 companies, donors and volunteers, and a special appearance by Santa and Mrs. Claus, the five families were excited beyond belief with a tremendous sense of gratitude.

Business Jet Cares would especially like to thank Home Depot for donating a Christmas Tree for each family, Fiesta Furniture Outlet who provided four complete beds and mattresses, and Love Field’s Department of Aviation and TallyHo! who each sponsored an entire family. Other leading sponsors included The Austin E. Knowlton Foundation, Phillips 66 Aviation, Business Jet Access, GoRentals, Sun Holdings, Inc., and Unique II Worldwide.
