Air Medical Memorial

What Air Medical Memorial does

Air Medical Memorial is a Colorado-domiciled nonprofit organization founded in 2009 to honor air medical flight crew members — pilots, flight nurses, flight paramedics, and physicians — who lost their lives in the line of duty while conducting helicopter and fixed-wing air ambulance missions. It maintains a comprehensive honoree database of more than 400 crew members with line-of-duty deaths dating back to 1972, organized by name, accident date, accident state, and program, and operates the only national memorial dedicated exclusively to this population. The planned physical memorial site is located near Denver, Colorado, at a location referred to as Deer Creek, and is supported by a digital presence including an interactive Memorial Wall and the Project Tribute film initiative.

The organization's business model is a three-stream nonprofit revenue engine: (1) corporate donations and sponsorships structured across six tiers from Titanium ($1,000-$2,499) to Platinum ($60,000+), with executive corporate sponsorship packages ranging $1,000-$5,000; (2) merchandise sales, principally die-struck Antique Gold lapel pins priced at $9.95 single / $39.95 for 5 / $74.95 for 10, plus a currently-unavailable "Never Forget" apparel line, with portions of purchases tax-deductible as donations; and (3) event registration through the annual Fallen Angels Charity Golf Tournament hosted at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club in North Myrtle Beach, SC, with individual registrations at $240, foursomes at $940, and packages with accommodations up to roughly $1,880. Distribution runs through the organization's own e-commerce site, event-driven tournament sales, and direct enterprise outreach, with go-to-market amplified by deep partnerships with leading air medical operators (Air Methods, PHI Air Medical, Air Evac Lifeteam, Med-Trans, EagleMed), OEMs (Bell Helicopter), and principal trade associations (AAMS, ASTNA, IAFCCP, Air Medical Physician Association).

Operationally, the organization runs on a lean 6-employee footprint, with a single named contact — Tournament Director Mary Ann Melville — handling event operations. The publicly available digital footprint is dated: the website copyright terminates at 2017, apparel inventory is marked unavailable, and there is no public evidence of headcount growth, recent fundraising campaigns, or new product launches in the post-2017 period. The company is privately held with no parent organization, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no disclosed financials.
