A WORTHY CHARITY, SERVING PATIENTS IN NEED
Since 1995, Angel Flight Central has served people in need by arranging charitable flights for healthcare or other humanitarian purposes with the help of volunteer pilots and donors. Originally known as Wings Over Mid-America, Inc., Angel Flight Central was founded in August 1995 with a handful of passionate volunteer pilots hoping to use their flying talents to help a total of two passengers per month. By the end of 2021, Angel Flight Central will have flown over 31,000 flights covering over 10 million charitable miles, helping passengers in need with a base of 1000 pilots and ground volunteers. During 2021, the organization averaged 213 flights a month.
"Keen Wealth Advisors is proud to align ourselves with the Angel Flight Central organization with our time, talent and resources. The help that this organization provides has alleviated the burden of long-distance medical travel for those who must travel for treatment outside of their home area. In many cases this is lifesaving treatment," said Keen.
