Champions In Flight
Some of our most passionate and highly committed donors are members of EAA Aviation Foundation™ Inc.’s Champions in Flight.
These visionaries are a committed group of donors whose leadership-level giving makes possible The Spirit of Aviation with support that underwrites Young Eagles and EAA Pathways to Flight programs, the EAA Aviation Museum, learn to fly academies, living history flight experiences, aircraft restoration, homebuilder classes and workshops, chapter tool program, and leadership academies.
They also have provided funds for improvements to Pioneer Airport, the AirVenture grounds, and pilot proficiency training.
“The passion and dedication of the Wright brothers are the ethos that drives EAA’s Champions In Flight members. They are devoted EAA members who understand that their impact on one person - through a Young Eagles flight or mentoring a scholarship winner - will influence hundreds, even thousands. They are key contributors to our organization by their donations of time and finances.”
Margaret Brill
EAA Aviation Foundation Vice President
As a thank you for being a Champion in Flight, members receive special invitations to events and activities throughout the year, and admission to the PHP hospitality house and the Flightline Pavilion during AirVenture.
