Memorial Contributions
Hawk Mountain Ranger School, Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol, graciously welcomes contributions made in honor or memory of our dedicated staff. Your generosity helps preserve the proud legacy and traditions of the Ranger program. Donations may be directed to one of our established memorial funds, and we would be honored to discuss any special wishes you may have.
Donor & Family Acknowledgement
Upon receiving a memorial donation, the PA Wing Commander will send a formal receipt and letter of appreciation to the donor. This acknowledgment not only expresses our gratitude but also serves as documentation for tax purposes. Civil Air Patrol is a registered 501(c) organization.
Memorial Naming Opportunities
To honor a HMRS Staff member on the Memorial Stone located in the garden beside the chapel, a contribution of $500 or more to any memorial fund will include the staff member’s name engraved on this lasting tribute.
If you would like to serve on the Memorial Committee or share ideas for the memorial, please contact:
