GFWC Florida President’s Project:  Flight to Honor

During each GFWC Florida administration, the President has the wonderful opportunity to choose a President’s Project.  For this term, GFWC Florida President, Sara Dessureau, has chosen to honor our GFWC Florida Women Veterans through a Flight To Honor.  Veterans are such important part of not only our history, but in the continuing sacrifices they make for our country.  While we honor all the veterans, Sara wanted to pay special tribute to female veterans in the GFWC Florida organization.  GFWC Florida is sponsoring an all-inclusive flight to Washington D.C. for approximately 172 GFWC Florida veterans in early 2026.  This will be for the first all-female veterans Flight to Honor in Florida.  Sara’s goal is to raise $150k to cover the costs of the flight, hotel the night before and food expenses for both the veteran and their guardian.
