In 2017, the Day of Giving will be held on Tuesday, September 12.

AAdvantage's Annual Awards Dinner

As a special way to recognize and honor those who continuously support the work we do, our Annual Dinner gives us an opportunity to show our gratitude.  Held in November, the dinner celebrates our outstanding teams, community members and local businesses over the course of an evening.  Join us for dinner and allow us to thank you as well.  For more information, click here.

The Giving Tree

Each year, the AAdvantage Foundation offers local businesses the opportunity to take a Christmas tree filled with gift tags for our individuals.  Unfortunately, many of the 500 clients we serve get very little for the holidays.  As a way to spread Christmas cheer and make sure no individual goes without, we began our annual tradition of the Giving Tree.  If you are interested in participating, please contact the Foundation at 724-745-3010 ext. 126.
