For more information about the Buffalo Ball visit the event’s website at www.thebuffaloball.org. We are a volunteer corps of over 1200 private pilots and "Earth Angels" who combine our love of flying with the spirit of grassroots volunteerism by flying
patients and their families to the critical health care they need. We provide air transportation in private aircraft by volunteer
pilots so that children and adults may access life saving medical care free of charge.
Angel Flight New England (a.k.a. Angel Flight NE) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization that provides free air transportation to patients whose financial resources would not otherwise enable them to receive treatment or diagnosis, or who may live in rural areas without access to commercial airlines. We are also a vital mode of transportation for organs, blood and for patients awaiting organ transplants. We also make compassion flights and provide air care wherever there is a compelling human need. While our patients primarily live in the northeast United States, we currently provide flights for people as far north as Maine, as far west as Minnesota and as far south as Florida and Louisiana. Approximately 50% of our patients are children, generally suffering from severe burns or cancer. $6,000 = 20 Life Changing Flights |
