Fundraising gala to boost scholarship fund for veterans

By General Aviation News Staff · September 11, 2024 · Leave a Comment

FORT WORTH, Texas — The third annual Black Tie and Boots Gala to benefit the Ashton Johnson Memorial CloudDancer Scholarship is slated for Oct. 12, 2024.

Founded in November 2021, the organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in honor of Ashton Johnson and his dream of becoming a pilot.

The CloudDancer Scholarship is intended to help veterans interested in pursuing careers in aviation. It provides flight training funds to veterans seeking a post-military aviation career by bridging the gap in GI Bill benefits.

“We’re looking for veterans with honorary military performance along with passion, drive, and tenacity either starting off or in the process of private pilot training,” officials said.

Held at the River Ranch Stockyards, the benefit gala will include a Texas-style buffet, country music, a live auction, and more.
