Supporters/Sponsors and Info from the 2006 3rd Annual RDRC Fly-For-Tots Fall Fly-In
WOW... our 2-day event was a HUGE sucess. Well, it actually ran for about
4 days, with campers and flyers coming in early, but that's another story :-). We had 134 registered
pilots, and raised about $10,000 for Smiles for Little Faces (a Make-A-Wish sanctioned organization)!!!
Our event was very sucessful as a result of our industry sponsors, Team Flyers, local area
business support, and the unbelievable turnout of pilots and visitors. Here's a list of the AWESOME prizes our contributors provided:
