Jun 10, 2020
LAS VEGAS, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 1985, Miracle Flights has relied on pilots to transport critically ill children to specialized medical care far from home. Now, as the national nonprofit celebrates 35 years of service, Miracle Flights is thrilled to announce its partnership with aviation watch brand Torgoen to mark the occasion.
With every watch purchased on Torgoen.com, a portion of proceeds will be donated to Miracle Flights to help more children reach the life-changing medical treatment they need.
Aviation watch brand Torgoen is partnering with national medical flight charity Miracle Flights to help sick children reach life-changing medical care far from home that would otherwise be unreachable. With every watch purchased from Torgoen.com, a portion of proceeds will go to support Miracle Flights' mission.
"As a brand devoted to pilots and aviation enthusiasts, we felt immediately connected to the Miracle Flights mission and wanted to explore ways to help raise awareness and travel funds," says Torgoen brand manager Ziv Emmet. "Together with our customers, we know we can make a positive impact on this organization and the thousands of families it serves."
For Miracle Flights CEO Mark E. Brown, this partnership provides a welcome opportunity for Miracle Flights to reflect on its 35 years of service. Founded in June 1985, the organization began in Southern Nevada with a small network of volunteer private pilots, flying only a few local children to medical care each month. Today, Miracle Flights is the nation's leading medical flight charity, providing thousands of free commercial flights each year to families across the country.
"There's nothing like a milestone anniversary to make you aware of the passage of time," says Brown. "We're grateful to Torgoen – not only for their generous financial support but also for giving us such an elegant and memorable way to commemorate our 35 years."
