Near and Far Aid Association

Feel free to contact Fred Waugh - my business card.

Pequot Travel Ltd helps those in need in our extended community by supporting Near & Far Aid, an essential organization that grants funds to over 90 charities.

Near & Far Aid has received approximately $1.5 million dollars through Pequot Travel Ltd's consistantly generous luxury Travel Donors. The list grows yearly and we are quick to point out that we do not forget those that have given.  The list below shows all who have donated and who we support in kind.

Near & Far Aid is an all volunteer charity - 100% of funds received help those in need. "
NEAR & FAR AID provides funding for projects that address the causes and effects of poverty in Fairfield County. Our grants support programs that help families at risk, adults in crisis, homelessness, elderly care and other select categories.  Please go to www.nearandfar.org to learn more."

The Spring Gala at Mitchell's March 5, 2010 was truly a success across the board! Thanks to the Co-Chairs, Harriet Baldwin and Natalie Burtson, the Gala was spectacular.  Hundreds of unsung volunteers make this event possible each year as well!

In the economy we had last year, we should give a shout out to the luxury properties whose support means so much to us every year.

Among the following we have a group who give generously every year.  This year we brought some new blood in and they deserve a good hard look as all who contribute are outstanding properties.  The list of donors for 2010 will be here shortly as well as the following list of past donors who also have made this event the success it is year after year.

Who are these luxury travel donors?
 

Support the donors listed below.

"We all succeed because of their generosity."

Sir Richard Branson 
Richard has been a very helpful donor to Near & Far Aid through his travel donations.  We look forward to continued support!
Richard and I met for lunch and an outrageous dinner in the bush at Ulusaba - his stuning property in South Africa. We hope that this may be donated once again !!
Thanks Richard    ..........   Fred



Peter de Savary
He is used to leading and motivating teams from just a few to several thousand people. He founded the worldwide St. James Clubs (London, Paris, Los Angeles, New York and Antigua) and the Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle (Scotland, venue for Madonna’s wedding). His successes also include Glenborrodale Castle (Scotland), Stapleford Park (England), Cherokee Plantation (South Carolina), Carnegie Abbey (Newport, Rhode Island), Bovey Castle (England) and the Abaco Club (Bahamas). These projects have been highly acclaimed and de Savary’s further experience extends from the construction of a new 5 star hotel in Egypt to the operation of a thousand room hotel in the UK.
