Asheville Regional Airport Donation
Another great big thank you to the continued support from Asheville Regional Airport Authority and their generous donation to our Educational Foundation. A donation of $10,000 from the proceeds of last fall's 5K run was presented to the WNCPAEF on January 12, 2023 at the Educational Foundation monthly board meeting. Board members of the WNC Pilots Association and Educational Foundation were in attendance to receive the check, presented by Michael Reisman and Tina Kinsey, on behalf of the Asheville Regional Airport Authority.

The partnership of our Educational Foundation and the generosity of our donors are what makes it possible for us to provide assistance to our communities in Western North Carolina to students in pursuit of their aviation dreams.
