SUN ’n FUN CAMPUS, LAKELAND, Florida — For the second year in a row, 12 lucky children will find a certificate under the tree this year for an airplane ride on Jan. 11 at SUN ’n FUN.
For any family finding it difficult to put gifts under the Christmas Tree this year, there is a no-cost option. Through Dec. 18, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors or friends can complete a form found on the SUN ’n FUN website.

On Dec. 20, SUN ‘n FUN will announce the names of the 12 children selected and will mail certificates for a celebration to be held (pending weather) on Saturday, Jan. 11. Each of the recipients will receive an airplane ride and an annual membership to the Florida Air Museum.
