Randolph & Angel Flight NE: Flying Hope Together
Proud partners since 2017.
At Randolph, we believe in protecting people’s vision and supporting the communities that embody our values. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Angel Flight NE, a nonprofit organization that provides free medical transportation to patients who need it most.
Over the past several years, throughout the holiday season, we’ve donated a portion of every order to support Angel Flight NE’s life-changing mission.
Below, we explain exactly who Angel Flight NE is, why their work matters, and how our partnership helps families access critical medical care — no matter how far they must travel.
What Is Angel Flight NE?
Angel Flight NE (Angel Flight Northeast) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to removing geographical and financial barriers that prevent patients from accessing essential medical care. They arrange free air and ground transportation for individuals and families who cannot afford or physically manage long trips to reach specialized treatments, hospitals, or ongoing care facilities.
Angel Flight NE’s network relies on 450+ volunteer pilots who donate not only their time but also their aircraft — ranging from single-engine planes to partnerships with commercial airlines like JetBlue and Cape Air— to fly patients across the United States. Ground crew volunteers help patients arrive safely at airports and hospitals.
Since its founding in 1996, Angel Flight NE has coordinated over 110,000 missions, flying patients more than 16 million miles to receive vital medical care.
Why Angel Flight NE Matters
Many patients must travel hundreds or even thousands of miles to access life-saving treatments or specialized care — sometimes on a recurring basis. For those with limited financial resources, serious health conditions, or reduced mobility, travel can be a major obstacle. Angel Flight NE bridges this gap by offering:
Free Air Transportation
For medically stable patients and companions who cannot afford travel or where commercial options are impractical.
Ground Support
Ground volunteers provide safe transportation from airports to medical facilities when needed.
Ongoing Accessibility
There’s no limit to the number of flights a patient may request — Angel Flight NE supports patients for as long as their treatment requires.
This support has a profound impact: for many, these flights aren’t just convenient — they’re life-changing. Families can stay together during treatment, and patients can receive timely medical support that might otherwise be out of reach.
Why Randolph Supports
Angel Flight NE
Our connection with Angel Flight NE extends beyond charity — it’s personal and deeply aligned with who we are:
Shared Aviation Heritage
Like Randolph, Angel Flight NE embraces aviation as more than a hobby — it’s a way of serving others. The volunteer pilots who fly these missions reflect the same respect for flight and craftsmanship that has shaped Randolph’s legacy since 1973.
Service to Community
Angel Flight NE provides a real, measurable impact in people’s lives — helping children, adults, and families access lifesaving medical care. Supporting their mission resonates with our values of community, service, and American ingenuity.
Based in New England
Angel Flight NE operates out of North Andover, Massachusetts — right in the heart of New England, just like Randolph — making this partnership a natural regional fit.
