Sept 24 and 25th, 2021
Wings 2020 Reimagined
As so many Parrot Head events have been cancelled in 2020, Wings Over Port A has also been cancelled. We asked our membership and Friends of Parrot Heads of Port Aransas to participation in raising funds to help the two local charities we have supported in years past with money raised at our Wings Over Port Aransas – Amos Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) and VFW Post 8967 Share and Care Program.
This year has been so challenging in so many ways but giving back to our community is always a positive. We raised a total of $5,530 for our September 2020 Fund Raising Campaign. Thanks to all that contributed and helped in our endeavors.
The Amos Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of marine turtles and birds of the South Texas Coast and is the only facility that will travel to rescue the animals. Fundraising goes to support the operating expenses of the ARK such as food, medicines, and housing for the animals in care.
“These creatures are the essence of our coastal environment. The coast wouldn’t be the coast without the pelicans and the laughing gulls. They are all wonderful animals.” - Tony AmosVFW 8967 Care and Share Program provides assistance each year to Port Aransas residents and helps support the Fisher House in San Antonio. Fisher House is a facility where families can stay for free while visiting service personnel receiving medical care in San Antonio. Local support includes the annual Christmas food baskets, EMS Toy Round-Up, High School Scholarships, Essay and Art contest at the schools, assisting local vets with food, shelter, clothing and medical expense. Also supported is the School Nursing Fund and a monthly evening meal at the USCG station in Port Aransas.
