Fletcher Gill and Sara Wingfield are two of DC's philanthropic spirits who I'm recognizing in DC This Week's charity spotlight for their vision with Luke's Wings.
See a message from their website below and consider donating online today.

Luke's Wings is an organization dedicated to the support of veterans who have been wounded through the War on Terror. Recognizing the immediate need for families to be with their loved ones at such a difficult time, Luke’s Wings provides families with the means to visit the veterans during their hospitalization and rehabilitation. By purchasing travel agency services and travel tickets for veterans’ loved ones, Luke’s Wings provides an immediate and invaluable service to the families of our men and women at arms.
While individual donations may be made directly through our website www.lukeswings.org, Luke’s Wings also encourages corporations to share in our thanks to veterans directly through corporate sponsorship and corporate donations. The organization sponsors and organizes fundraising events in and around the Washington, D.C. area for this purpose, while also raising money for veterans’ families by selling t-shirts, stickers, and wrist bands with the company logo.
Recognizing the difficulties families encounter as they make their way to their loved ones’ side, Luke’s Wings is prepared to partner with corporations to ease the burden on families and veterans during their visit. Luke's Wings will purchase plane tickets for a family to travel to the Army Medical Hospital, then Luke’s Wings may partner with a hotel and a theme park for free or discounted accommodations, meals, and entertainment.
