Bravo to Brett Halverson who is the top fundraiser for Airline Ambassadors and he hasn’t even started college yet!
Brett Halverson has been associated with AAI since 2011 when, at 13 years of age, he earned the rank of Eagle Scout by collecting toys and supplies and hand-delivering them to the Zamni Bene Orphanage in Croix de Bouquets, Haiti for children orphaned by the 2010 earthquake. After a devastating hurricane in 2012, he also led his scout troop in collecting thousands of dental supplies for the tent camps of Port au Prince. Nancy Rivard, President of AAI personally escorted Brett to the orphanage, which enabled him to complete requirements to become an Eagle Scout. To thank her for that help, Brett decided to raise money toward one of AAI’s educational projects, the cost of which was $25,000.00. He first gave speeches to local civic groups in the Sacramento area, raising $550.00, and then applied for a grant for $24,450.00. On May 18th, 2015, the grant was approved and a check for $25,000.00 was sent to AAI. Brett is very proud to have contributed to the project which will help pay for school uniforms, supplies and food for 500 children in five different countries. Brett plans to travel this July to Colombia to see for himself one of the projects his initiative has impacted!
Brett is a graduate of Jesuit High School (’15) in Carmichael, CA. Active in sports, he qualified twice for the National Championships in saber fencing and he has a passion for cars of all types. Brett will attend Indiana University in the fall, majoring in business and industrial design.
