Please support 3 Striker Air Cadets by donating to our Sponsoring Committee. 100% of ALL donations support #3 Squadron. We are a registered Canadian Charity, under the name "#3 STRIKER AIR CADET SQUADRON SPONSORING COMMITTEE". BN/Registration Number: 130387665RR0075. Since 26 Nov. 2004.
We know from experience that some parents, guardians and friends can sometimes tap into companies, work place, clubs and associations for items that the squadron needs. This could be donations (money, Canadian Tire money, goods, or products to be used or raffled), the use of facilities for squadron activities, and other “goodies”. If you can help the squadron then please speak to the Sponsoring Committee or the Commanding Officer.
In addition, if you regularly donate through your work place each pay, you may wish to direct your contributions in whole, or in part, to our charity. [More]

There are many different ways to leave a lasting legacy to #3 Squadron Sponsoring Committee, and discussions with your legal or financial advisor along with your family can help you to determine which options are the best for you.
Bequests of money or property made through a Will
This can involve a specific gift amount, a residuary gift (what remains of your estate after taxes, legal and administrative fees, and gifts to heirs), or a contingent gift (in event that none of your beneficiaries are alive at the time of your death).
Gifts of Life Insurance
By giving through life insurance you can:
make a substantial charitable donation for a comparatively small premium
become a major benefactor right now, rather than waiting years to make your gift from accumulated assets
gain tax benefits and guarantee the value of your gift will not be reduced by taxes, probate or administrative costs
make a significant gift of funds that are considered independent of your estate, and therefore cannot be challenged
keep your gift private and confidential.
Gifts of Stocks, Shares and Equity Mutual Funds
Many donors find that giving a listed security or investment such as stocks, shares and equity mutual funds allows them to make an important contribution to Air Cadets while offering significant tax benefits to you.
By planning your gift, your generous contribution will help #3 Squadron Sponsoring Committee continue to make a difference through the next generation of Air Cadets, today and always. For more information about these planned giving opportunities, please take a moment to discuss these options with your legal or financial advisor.
