Precise Flight and GlobalParts.aero report that $1,610 was raised for EAA’s Young Eagles program during “Osh for a Cause,” on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, at EAA AirVenture 2017.
Osh for a Cause featured celebrity pilots and the opportunity for fans to connect with their favorite aviator while supporting youth in aviation.
In attendance were well known aviators, such as the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team, Allison Leeward, Deon Mitton, and Jessica Bauman.
Funds were raised through the sale of raffle tickets for prizes donated by Precise Flight, Deon Mitton Photography, MGF, and Grypmat.
In addition, GlobalParts.aero donated a gift to match funds raised through ticket sales.
