FlipGive: donate by simply shopping!

Get a start on your holiday gift-buying and help support the 742 National Capital Air Cadet Squadron with flipgive.com, a safe, simple, no-cost (to you) way to shop at the stores and businesses you love – including online – while supporting our cadets.

Here’s how it works:

Visit www.flipgive.com or download the app and go to the Teams tab at the top of the page.
On the Teams page, go to the "Find a Team" box in the middle of the page and enter 742 National Capital Air Cadet Squadron. If you’re using the app, you’ll want to Join an Existing Team and enter our code: PKVDT6
On the Results page, you will see 742 National Capital Air Cadet Squadron, and boxes for "Donate Now," "Shop Online," “Gift Cards” and various gift categories.
If you select "Shop Online", you will be redirected to the websites of your favourite participating retailers, where you can either shop directly from their online stores or purchase gift cards.
The best part is, for every purchase you make through FlipGive, 742 National Capital Air Cadet Squadron will automatically receive a donation of anywhere between 2% and 20% - depending on the retailer – while you get the full amount of what you've spent. For example, if you buy a $5 gift card for Starbucks, you will have $5 to spend at Starbucks, while 742 will also receive a 2% donation at no cost to you. Your gift goes even further!
Because each purchase you make through FlipGive supports our squadron, you can buy gifts (or gift cards) for others all year long and the recipient does not even have to know that you've used FlipGive.

Please support our fundraising campaign all year long, and share with friends and family our FlipGive team number so they can also help support our cadets.

SSC volunteering - Calling all parents/guardians!

What does the 742 SSC do? Read more about the aims, positions and last year's SSC members.

But meetings are not really my thing... Not everyone can or wants to serve on a committee, but the Squadron still relies on parent/guardian volunteers throughout the year. Please fill out the this form so that the 742 SSC can contact you about volunteering opportunities during the training year.

Volunteer with the SSC!
