Online Auction Aids Flight Attendants in Need

The Pegasus Project "Heroes of the Heart" Online Holiday Charity Auction is open for bids from now through Nov. 30.

This AFA-CWA project helps raise funds to provide a financial lifeline for flight attendants facing a critical, life-threatening illness or disabling injury through an online auction of fabulous gifts, art, exotic travel and many other items.

All funds raised go the Pegasus Project, which provides short-term emergency grants to critically ill or injured flight attendants represented by AFA-CWA.

Sheila Dail and Doreen Welsh, AFA-CWA's own "Heroes on the Hudson" and members of the US Airways flight 1549 crew, are this year's Pegasus Project spokespersons.

"In a single moment one's life can change forever. A routine doctor's visit results in a cancer diagnosis, a short drive to the store ends in a horrific accident that restricts you from working for many months, or, like us, your plane makes an emergency landing on the Hudson River after striking a flock of birds," they said.

Please support our cause and be "a Hero of the Heart to Flight Attendants in need," they said.
