Building Confidence in Children and Youth with Special Needs

Greetings!

The year is coming to a close and I want to thank all the volunteers and donors who helped inspire "can-do" attitudes and provide laughter and smiles on almost 500 kids with special needs. Challenge Air hosted 8 Fly Days with 88 volunteer pilots donating 360 hours of flight time and over $100,000!

In addition to hosting fly days in person, this past March we created a virtual reality fly day over the Palo Dura Canyon in Texas. Over 190 kids registered to receive their virtual reality fly day kit and the video was viewed by 517 kids and their families.

Thank you again for participating in Challenge Air for Kids & Friends. We look forward to a busy 2023!

Happy Holidays,

April Culver
CEO/ Executive Director

Thanks again to the pilots, volunteers, sponsors, committee members and community for showing up and helping to make this a memorable day for our co-pilots and their families!

Building Confidence Beyond the Flight!

It's always so much fun when former Co-Pilots become volunteers. Check out Ryan as he helps get the "runway" ready at the Denver Aviation Day!

Thank you to all those who contributed so generously on GivingTuesday!

With your help, Challenge Air raised $3,500 to help build confidence and self esteem in children and youth with special needs.

These funds will help bring smiles to so many more kids and lasting memories for their families.

Thank you!
