2024 Indy PFK Schedule

Last updated 2 months ago

Good morning everyone! I hope that 2024 has been a good year for everyone! If you are receiving this email, you have either volunteered in the past or have signed up to receive email updates for events. We will have a total of 4 events this year as the St. Mary's Children's Center has added a new location.

If you would like to help spread some holiday joy this year, please text me at (317)417-2308 to let me know when you help out. There is normally a cap of 10 pilots at the PMCH hospital visits and no cap on the visits to the schools. When/if you visit, please feel free to wear a holiday tie and/or a holiday hat.

As a reminder, PFK dues should be paid annually and can easily be done online at Pilotsforkids.org. If you are looking to donate to the Indy PFK toy fund, you can also do that on the PFK website, under the donation tab. Select IND (Fuson) from the drop down menu. All of these funds help purchase toys and gifts for the kids and are 100% tax deductible.

Thank you all for you continued support, generous donations, and volunteering at this busy time of the year. The 2024 schedule is at the bottom of this email. As always, feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Thank you!!!

Chris Fuson

2023 Indy PFK Recap

Last updated 1 year ago

Hello Indy PFK members.

We successfully navigated through another Holiday PFK season. This year members from Delta, FedEx Express, Republic, and United airlines helped spread some holiday joy to over 200 kids between The Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and the two St. Mary’s Children’s Centers. During our visits, we were able to share some flying stories, read a couple of books, spread our wings and give “flying lessons,” pass out some presents, and most importantly, put some smiles on kids faces.

The success of our visits would not have been possible without your continued support, generous contributions, and volunteerism. If you have not done so, please renew your annual membership dues, as the dues help buy gifts for the kids every year. Stay tuned for a possible visit this upcoming Spring. If you have not volunteered in a bit or at all, there is no better time to start than now. Thank you all again for your support.
