The Around the World volunteer team will be hosting a 45-minute ground school, aviation games, face painting and an opportunity for children to take flight with the Around the World pilots. All ages of children are welcome to attend and lunch will be provided by Chick-fil-A.
In addition, Around the World for Life will be raising money for its 2013 Around the World campaign. All funds raised from the event will go to Around the World for Life's mission to bring the joy of flight to children who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity. With 24,906 miles around the world, supporters can donate in $10 a mile increments on the organization's website to reach founder T.R. Wright's goal of flying around the Earth.
