Volunteering – Giving Back Is Extremely Rewarding 

Hi, I'm Fred Waugh President of Pequot Travel. 

I'm always in awe.  The tri-chairs and hundreds of volunteers this past March 2, 2012 produced yet another event that was spectacular on all levels.  The annual "Spring Gala" for Near & Far Aid is charged with an energy that leaves no doubt about the oncoming success.  Praise the volunteers behind the scenes and the tri-chairs who are the face of an event that often takes chances and consistently produces excellent results. 

That's what it's all about. This will be my 17th year working on the "Spring Gala" doing all I can in the area of Travel donations and it never grows old.

Over the past 10 years we have granted $10 million to over 130 charities in critical need. Travel donors are proud to have represented $1.5 million over this time and every travel donor deserves credit for helping to make this event a success year after year.  

The Tri-Chairs, Heather Dermont, Erin Hermann and Sarah Kleinman, did a fantasic job this past March 2, 2012.  Although they are the last to accept the credit due them, they are the first to deserve the credit for what was a superbly orchestrated event.

REMEMBER THOSE IN NEED THIS YEAR.
The smallest donation goes so far - every dollar is significant.

"The agencies we fund make all the difference."

They provide food & shelter for the homeless & job education and training for the working poor. They run literacy and educational programs for disadvantaged children and their families. They care for the elderly and for the victims of abuse, and provide access to quality health care for those who would otherwise be denied.

Some of these agencies are well established non-profits, while others are small but highly effective grass roots organizations. Large or small, they share a partnership with Near & Far Aid to effect lasting change on the lives of many.
