Flying Ace, an American-made bourbon company, has announced an educational scholarship program with nonprofit organization Folds of Honor, commemorating the sacrifices made by fallen or disabled American military personnel and first responders. Rooted in the indomitable spirit of generations of American aviators who epitomized the ideals courage and precision, Flying Ace is dedicated to this new partnership through scholarships, awareness campaigns, and fundraising efforts.
Folds of Honor, established in 2007, has become a beacon of hope, awarding over 52,000 scholarships and making a $244 million educational impact on the families of America’s fallen or disabled military members. In 2022, the organization expanded its support to include the families of first responders, furthering its mission to positively impact those affected by the ultimate sacrifices made for the nation.
“We are proud to contribute to this noble cause by sponsoring four scholarships in 2024,” said Ali Anderson, national sales director for Flying Ace. “This sponsorship reflects Flying Ace’s dedication to giving back to our community and to ensuring the families who have sacrificed so much for our country receive the educational opportunities they deserve.”
As part of its commitment to Folds of Honor, Flying Ace, a key brand in the CraftCo portfolio of premium spirits, is raising awareness for this cause at spirits retailers nationwide, on social platforms, and across media channels. Special point-of-sale materials, including bottlenecks featuring the partnership logo, have been applied to all bourbon expressions of Flying Ace at over 450 retail locations since April. These materials include a QR code, allowing consumers to make donations to Folds of Honor through a dedicated landing page on the Flying Ace website.
All funds generated from these consumer donations go directly to the charity. Additionally, the brand served as the Liberty Sponsor for Folds of Honor’s Inaugural Gala in Detroit on March 9, 2024, marking a significant moment in the partnership and showcasing the shared values of both organizations in their collective effort to create a positive impact.
“We are extremely appreciative [of] Flying Ace’s support of our shared mission and pleased to join with them in making a meaningful impact through education,” said Lt Colonel Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. “The team at Flying Ace understands the importance of an education and is committed to assisting those who need and deserve our help.”
Flying Ace invites everyone to support Folds of Honor’s mission and looks forward to a year of impactful initiatives that will make a lasting difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed for the nation.
