They say a child’s first flight can change everything.

For many of our students, that moment became real because of you.

Because of your generosity, the Robert B. Griffin Aviation STEMs Program is more than a summer initiative—it’s a life-shaping experience. Your support helps us introduce young minds to the world of aviation and STEM in a way that’s hands-on, high-energy, and unforgettable.

From flight instruction and simulator time to mentorship, meals, and transportation, your donations power every part of the journey. But more than anything, you invest in their confidence, curiosity, and calling.

You didn’t just help fund a program.

You gave them opportunity.

You gave them joy.

You gave them childhood memories they’ll carry for life.

From field trips that spark wonder, to friendships that build confidence, to the very first time they pull back on the yoke and feel lift-off—you made that possible.

These aren’t just future pilots or engineers. They’re kids—kids who get to learn, laugh, explore, and grow in an environment built with care, curiosity, and legacy.

This program stands on the shoulders of Tuskegee Airman Robert B. Griffin, whose vision was to open the skies to those once told they couldn’t reach them. Thanks to you, that vision is alive—and soaring.

So from every smile, every spark, and every dream you helped lift:

Thank you.

Because of you, they’re not just learning how to fly

They’re learning they were born to soar

As we prepare to launch our 2025 Youth Aviation STEM Camp, we want to build on the momentum and success of last year.

With your continued support, we can keep placing our students on a path toward careers in general aviation, engineering, and beyond.

Your investment in our youth is making a difference—not just for today, but for the future of aviation and our community.

Once again, thank you for believing in this vision.

​

Together, let’s keep soaring higher.
