Hello Mile High Flight students, friends and supporters.
We’re off to a great start in 2023 and we hope that everyone is enjoying the new year. We had to exercise a high level of flexibility in our tour schedule. Our long awaited and very popular tour of the United States Air Force Academy was moved from January 21 to January 28, but we truly believe that it will be well worth the wait. We thank MHF “Crew Member” and USAFA grad Rob Robison and his entire team for putting this event together. The USAFA tour is by far our longest activity, and coordination is a challenge. We’re hoping for great weather to showcase the beautiful campus in Colorado Springs.
We also want to acknowledge the continued support of private individuals and institutional organizations of the Mile High Flight program. Thank you to the Black Resilience in Colorado (BRIC) Fund for its generous $10,000 grant. We are grateful for their belief in the mission of MHF and proud to have demonstrated our value to the Denver Metro Community. We’re also very excited to announce donations to MHF from several private individuals from within Hubert L. “Hooks” Jones and from outside our chapter as well. Though confidentiality prevents us from publishing their names here, we want to acknowledge their contributions to our program, express our deepest gratitude and commit to our continued service to our youth.
Please make note that some of our upcoming event dates have been revised. The events are as follows: 1/28 - USAFA, 2/4 - CU Aerospace, 3/4 - Metro State University Aerospace, 4/8 - United Airlines. Invites will be sent to students and parents as we finalize the details.
Tailwinds,
The MHF “Crew”
