As an animal rescue facility director, Sky King Foundation provided critical transport to many of our animals. They were professional, prepared, and caring. Their ability to help animals is testimony to a commitment to compassion and caring. Thank you!!

Just served as a volunteer for the organization. I witnessed first hand the great work they do with cancer patients and animal airlift. Not sure about what happened in the past, but this is a worthwhile cause that should be featured more.

It is interesting that the negative "reviews" of this charity focus on a person and do not say anything about the services provided. Elenore Roosevelt said, "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people." While the lawsuit was unfortunate, it is clear the former donor saw great value in investing in the organization, but then changed his mind, stole services, and chose to sue the very charity he was assisting. Any of the board would be happy to explain the extenuating circumstances of the case that led to no adequate defense of the organization.

Sky King Foundation operated for 14 years prior to the suit without incident, but in an attempt to expand the mission trusted a person who was untrustworthy. It turned personal and their continued attempts to discredit the work and question the integrity of a person dedicated to charitable work speaks for itself. I encourage anyone to call our offices and talk to us and judge for yourself.

Skyking is a fraudulent entity which proclaims to take donors money and utilize for the benefits of patients. Check their lawsuit whereas the founder of skyking was found guilty by a jury for fraud. Exposing skyking foundation to a judgment of 3.9 million dollars. Jury award was in Dallas county

I spent two days a week for a month assisting this organization with logistics associated with animal and cancer patient flight coordination. It was great to work with all the professional people at the nonprofit to help those in need.

As a clearinghouse for many organizations, Sky King Foudnation does a great job of picking up flights for many other groups. I personally have flown multiple trips for them and receive great satisfaction from the knowledge that I am helping people in need. Great organization and I encourage everyone to particpate!
