is not just a social organization, but we also raise money for charity.
Each chapter adopts their own local charity and by whatever way
they see fit and raise as much as they can for that charity 10%
of the annual moneys they raise is sent to our International funds
and that all goes towards the International charity which at the
moment is Care |

In 1994 World Wings International was
chosen as our new international charity. CARE purpose it to help
the developing world's poor in their efforts to achieve social and
economical well-being. After first supporting CARE's Population
and Family Planning Program, World Wings members voted at the 1997
Los Angeles Cruise Convention to support 'The Women's initiative'
program. CARE headquarters were moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1993.
CARE, considered one of the best run charitable organizations in
the United States, spends 93.5% of the charitable contributions
raised on the programs for which CARE was estabalished.
As Pan Am flight attendants, we traveled the globe, helped in war
and disaster, and saw first-hand the flight of those living in some
of the poorest nations in the world. Now we continue to help by
contributing and giving our support to CARE International.
