OVERLAND PARK, Kan., November 21, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Keen Wealth Advisors, an independently owned and operated financial advisory firm based in Johnson County, Kansas, sponsored the Angel Flight Central Gala on Friday evening, Nov. 15, 2019. The gala, which was held at the Sheraton at Crown Center in Kansas City and attended by 446 people, is expected to raise over $195,000 to support the Angel Flight Central's mission. Angel Flight Central serves people in need by arranging charitable flights for access to health care or other humanitarian purposes in the Central American states.
Bill Keen, CRPC®, founder and CEO of Keen Wealth Advisors, serves as a volunteer pilot and also sits on the board of Angel Flight Central. As a volunteer for Angel Flight Central, Keen works closely with key personnel in the organization. This year, Keen Wealth stepped up in an even bigger way, taking a leading role in supporting the gala as the "presenting sponsor."
Keen Wealth is proud to align ourselves with the Angel Flight Central organization with our time, talent and resources. The help that this organization provides has alleviated the burden of long-distance medical travel for those who must travel for treatment outside of their home area. In many cases this is lifesaving treatment.

"Keen Wealth is proud to align ourselves with the Angel Flight Central organization with our time, talent and resources. The help that this organization provides has alleviated the burden of long-distance medical travel for those who must travel for treatment outside of their home area. In many cases this is lifesaving treatment," said Keen.
"We are so thankful for Bill Keen's involvement on all levels of our organization," said Don Sumple, CEO Executive Director, Angel Flight Central, Inc. "Keen Wealth's support as the presenting sponsor of the gala directly benefits people in our area in need of medical support who are required to travel for treatment."

A WORTHY CHARITY, SERVING PATIENTS IN NEED
Since 1995, Angel Flight Central has served people in need by arranging charitable flights for health care or other humanitarian purposes with the help of volunteer pilots and donors. Originally known as Wings Over Mid-America, Inc., Angel Flight Central was founded in August 1995 with a handful of passionate volunteer pilots hoping to use their flying talents to help a total of two passengers per month. By the end of 2019, Angel Flight Central will have flown over 28,000 flights covering over 9 million charitable miles, helping passengers in need with a base of 650 pilots and ground volunteers.
"The number one cause of bankruptcy in America is health-related. Another incredible statistic is that 40% of the population has some sort of debt due to health issues. That percentage would be much higher without organizations like Angel Flight Central. Can you imagine having to pay for an airline ticket for yourself and a caregiver while traveling once a month for treatment when finances are already tight?" said Sumple. "Whether an individual is traveling for cancer treatment, participating in a clinical trial or having pre- or post-operation checkups, donors can be sure that by supporting the services of Angel Flight Central, they are giving hope to people in need."
"I was so honored when Angel Flight Central appointed me to its board earlier in the year. Working with their leadership team to further the group's mission has let me put my love of flying and business background to their highest possible uses. Angel Flight Central has also given me the great pleasure of working with an extraordinary group of devoted and big-hearted volunteers," said Keen.
