The Amarillo Area Corvette Club made presentations to its four supported charitable organizations at the annual “Giving Thanks with Friends” banquet on Saturday, November, 20, 2021.
The AACC selects two main charities to support each year. They also have two other minor organizations each year. At the Banquet this year, checks were handed out to the 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle and Our Children’s Blessing; the main charities we support. In addition, funds were also allocated to the Palo Duro Air Force Junior ROTC Unit and the Amarillo Emergency Services organization.
AACC President Willie Wheeler presents a check to Scott Latham of the 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle. The mission of the 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle is to: Provide assistance to the families of certified peace officers and firefighters who are killed in the line of duty while protecting our lives and property. Provide assistance to certified peace officers and firefighters who are seriously injured while protecting our lives and property. Provide law enforcement and firefighting agencies with life-protecting equipment that cannot be secured through budgeted funds and agencies. Provide law enforcement and firefighting agencies with educational opportunities.
AACC President Willie Wheeler presents a check to Miles and Berklye Bonifield of the Our Children’s Blessing charity. Our Children’s Blessing was created to help provide support during a family’s time of need, both financially and emotionally. We know there are many families who need assistance, but they do not know where to turn. Our Children’s Blessing wants to not only contribute funds, but also offer information necessary to regaining a normal life and to cope with the stress, heartache and empty feeling associated with deep loss. No one should ever feel alone after the death of their child. Whether you require financial assistance or simply need to speak with someone who has experienced grief like you, Our Children’s Blessing is here.
AACC President Willie Wheeler presents a check to the Cadets and Instructors of the Palo Duro High School Air Force Junior ROTC Program. These four Cadets did an outstanding job of presenting and posting the Colors at the beginning of the banquet.
The Amarillo Emergency Services Organization was unable to attend the banquet. The check for the funds donated to that organization will be delivered to them as soon as possible.
