Margaret Whitehead, Director of Airline Ambassadors Children’s Medical Escort Program was honored at the 9th Annual Childspring Gala at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta on March 25th. She had no idea that she was going to be recognized when hosts surprised her and with the impressive “Dr. David Watson Global Service Award”.
“I was just overwhelmed – had no idea I would ever receive anything like this. It was truly the most impressive event I have ever attended and was so much fun to be with Wayne.” Margaret attended with Wayne Lee, one of her coordinators, and who has arranged several of Childspring’ trips.
Margaret has directed this Airline Ambassadors program for 20 years to help children from other countries, often very poor, come to the U.S. for donated lifesaving medical care. Her team coordinates for off duty airline employees to travel with these children to the U.S. and back again. She works with Wayne Lee, Joanne Striker, Connie Lowry and Clarie Krinsky who also all volunteer their time making a huge difference on these life-changing journeys.
