On Saturday, October 23 from 12:00 am – 3:00 pm, Mercy Flight will host its annual open house at the Mercy EMS Base. The Mercy Flight Batavia Base, located at 8050 Call Parkway, will be open to the public. We kindly ask you to support this remarkable celebration.
The day will be filled with plenty to enjoy, including a trunk or treat, a costume contest, and activities for the family.
We will be celebrating our 40th anniversary as well. Mercy Flight was founded on the premise of wanting to help more patients during their time of need. Since our inception in 1981, Mercy Flight has grown from one part-time crew to 24/7 air operations in Buffalo, Batavia, and Olean, and ground ambulance operations in Springville, Genesee County, and Niagara County. Having transported more than 26,000 patients by helicopter and conducting countless ground ambulance missions, Mercy Flight has truly been Western New York’s beacon of hope WHEN MINUTES MATTER.
At Mercy Flight, we pride ourselves on performing our lifesaving services without regard to our patients’ insurance status or their ability to pay. While third-party payers reimburse a portion of each flight’s cost, we rely heavily on the generous support of community contributors like you.
We would greatly appreciate the donation of a product or service to support this essential and well-attended community event. Would you so generously consider donating an item or certificate for our basket raffle or participate in the trunk or treat?
I would be happy to pick up any donations you offer. Please contact me at 585.250.3002 or pcherry@mercyflight.org to arrange.
