When you donate to the Pilots for Pilots (P4P) Fund, you’re helping your fellow ALPA members and their families. As part of this summer’s 717 Club donation campaign, ALPA reached out to seven of the pilots who have received grants from P4P in the recent past to share their stories. Click here to donate today and make sure the next pilot who needs help gets it. Remember, we’re all just a disaster away from needing P4P.
On June 28, 2015, the Sleepy Hollow fire started a few miles from the home of Capt. John McKay (ALA) in Wenatchee, Wash. He arrived home at 5:00 p.m. and by 6:00 p.m. the fire crested the hill behind his home, leaving just enough time to grab his two kids and two cats.
After the fire destroyed his house, he and his family were left with nothing. "As my family dealt with the enormity of losing everything," he said, "the immediate financial assistance that ALPA's P4P fund provided allowed me to purchase some essentials for my family. ... Fellow ALPA members, I encourage you to support this worthwhile effort to raise funds to support our fellow pilots in their time of need."
