Wednesday, March 26, 2014, officers and members of the Bay City Elks presented a charitable donation in the amount of $2,300.00 to Wings of Mercy of Eastern Michigan.

Wings of Mercy is a group of dedicated private pilots, whose purpose is to provide air transport to those who require specialized medical treatment at distant medical centers, at no cost to them.

The Elks raised funds as part of their annual Christmas Charity. Each year the members of Bay City Elks Lodge #88, merge contributions in a special Elks Christmas Charity. The contributions are then donated to a local cause. The Wings of Mercy, was this year's recipient.

The check was presented to Wings of Mercy East Michigan Secretary, Charles Binder, at James Clements Municipal Airport.

Exalted Ruler, George Lynch remarked, "We are pleased that the Bay City Elks are able to show our appreciation to these men and women who volunteer their time and airplanes to help patients in our community."

He added, "Many people would not be able to receive specialized medical treatment if their service was not available."

Bay City is one of nearly 2200 nationwide Lodges in the BPO Elks of the USA. Last year, the nearly million member organization contributed more than $200 million to charitable and philanthropic programs.

The primary beneficiary of the Bay City Elks' charitable work is Local Special Needs Children, Local Scholarships, Local Youth Athletic Programs, Local Veterans Organizations and Americanism Programs.
