Flags for Veterans Outreach

The South Lakes HS band's Flags For Veterans Outreach Program gives students the opportunity to support US Veterans while raising funds for their trip to the 2017 Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade.  The band is teaming up with Honor Flight Network to support US veterans - the very heroes we will be marching to honor in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade! 
​​Make a donation to help us get to Hawaii
​and the band will donate a flag to 
support US Veterans! 
​
You give $10  – We donate a US flag to Honor Flight Network
Flags are used by Honor Flight volunteers to greet veterans as they arrive and depart from DC and at the memorials they visit

You give $20 – We donate a US flag to Honor Flight Network AND dedicate it to the honoree of your choice
Your dedication will be acknowledged at band concerts, featured on the commemorative shirt that band members wear on the trip, and will appear on our website

NOTE AS OF 11/12/17: THE DEADLINE FOR HONOREES TO BE INCLUDED ON THE TRIP SHIRT HAS NOW PASSED. YOUR LOVED ONE WILL BE HONORED AT AN UPCOMING BAND CONCERT AND ON OUR WEBSITE. THANK YOU!

​​In the event that Honor Flight Network is unable to use a flag, we will donate it to another organization that honors veterans
Your tax-deductible donation will be deposited with the SLHS Band Boosters Association, a 501(c)3 non-profit, to be used for trip-related expenses
