SPONSORS
– Become a sponsor with the Air Guardians and Guardian ANGels –
The Air Guardians consist of two entities
The Air Guardians and the Guardian ANGels Education Fund are two separate entities. The Air Guardians is a socially beneficial local non-profit whose funds are used for the operation of the organization. The Guardian ANGels are designated as a 501(c)(3) nontaxable charitable organization for educational programs and scholarships. Funds are used for education and scholarships only. Both groups work as one and are comprised of dedicated volunteers only. 100% of the funds received are used to support the organization’s goals.
The Air Guardians support the 162d Fighter Wing
The 162d is the largest Air National Guard Unit unit worldwide, touches 30 countries, and has an economic impact in excess of $617,000,000. The 162d has over 1,800 professional citizen airmen and their families based locally in Tucson. Unlike the regular military, airmen do not rotate every 3-4 years with permanent changes in station (PCS) moves. Its members are your long-term neighbors from diverse backgrounds, including families and many retirees.
Promote a sense of patriotism
By supporting the Air Guardians as a sponsor, you are demonstrating a dedication to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Your sponsorship shows that your business is committed to making a positive impact and is concerned about more than just making profits. Sponsoring with us will enhance your reputation and demonstrate that your business genuinely cares.
Sponsorship fosters pride
Sponsorship can foster a sense of pride within your organization. Your employees who have friends or relatives in the military are now supporting an organization with high standards and a close relationship with the military. They will have a feeling of devotion to your business and a sense of giving back to the community.
Community exposure for your business
Community exposure to your business comes mostly from our events. Events such as the annual Golf Tournament, our largest fundraiser, Top Golf Day, and Family Day have the largest participation. Your participation is determined by a tiered system that is flexible enough to accommodate your advertising budget. Any sponsorship chosen is greatly appreciated.

Other Sponsorship activities
Air Guardians engage in various activities that require sponsorship. For instance, during periods of extreme heat, we provide cold drinks to Flightline personnel. We also organize events such as pancake breakfasts, hotdog lunches, and catered Christmas dinners for the Alert Force aircrews, maintainers, and security personnel who are unable to leave the base during the holidays. In addition, we host formal and informal VIP events for foreign dignitaries visiting the Morris Air National Guard Base.
The Air Guardians has partnered with the Family Readiness Center when they’ve sent care packages to Tucson Air Guard personnel stationed around the world at temporary duty locations. Many of these desolate locations have little to no facilities to procure personal necessities.
501(c)(3) tax free donations
The educational arm of Air Guardians is the Guardian ANGels which focuses on education and scholarships. Sponsoring with our Guardian ANGels can provide potential tax benefits due to its 501(c)(3) status. Please consult your accountant for more details.
Because members of the Tucson Air Guard have diverse backgrounds and extensive careers spanning decades, your sponsorships will pave the way for future business collaborations, brand loyalty, and product loyalty.
Sponsoring promotes brand loyalty and name recognition. Sponsoring the Air Guardians can help establish invaluable connections with military families. These relationships build solid name recognition with long-lasting relationships and brand loyalty in the community that can last a lifetime.
Consider your sponsorship as an investment in goodwill towards the men and women who risk their lives to ensure the safety and security of our way of life for generations to come. We welcome you to include us in your advertising strategy and join us in making a difference by becoming a sponsor of the 162d Air Guardians and Guardian ANGels.
