THE BOEING COMPANY

In February, Monique Bynum, Boeing’s Senior Community Investor and Education Relations leader, presented Wings of Hope with an $80,000 donation in support of our SOAR into STEM program. The Boeing Company has generously supported this program since its launch in 2019, impacting the lives of hundreds of local students who are eager to explore futures in aviation and STEM-related careers. We are incredibly grateful for Boeing’s partnership — and for their genuine passion for empowering, serving, and investing in students.

METROPOLIS OF CHICAGO PHILOPTOCHOS

The Ladies of Metropolis of Chicago Philoptochos visited our hangar in March to present a $15,000 check to Wings of Hope. The donation represented proceeds from the group’s Annual September Luncheon: Spirit of Hope, Soaring Through God’s Strength. Our Director of Development and Communications Brittni Snidle spoke at the luncheon, reflecting on the two organizations’ shared missions of easing suffering and improving the quality of life for vulnerable populations. Thank you, Ladies of Metropolis of Chicago Philoptochos!

JMC CHARITIES

So grateful to JMC Charities for donating $15,000 to Wings of Hope from the 6th Annual John “Mike” Cordell Children’s Charity Golf Classic which benefits Wings of Hope and Shriners Children’s St. Louis. The tournament was started by Bob Sudholt to honor his late friend, John, whom many at Wings of Hope knew as the big guy behind the wheel of the red van that drove our Medical Relief & Air Transport (MAT) patients to their Shriners appointments. What an amazing legacy and tribute to John’s commitment to helping children. Thank you, JMC Charities!
