Lifeline Pilots Needs Auction Items for ‘Hope in a Hangar’

What a great organization this is!! Lifeline Pilots helped me out this summer when we flew your donated household items to Joplin, Missouri after the town was devastated by a massive EF5 tornado. Now they need your help! Their “Hope in a Hangar” fundraiser is going to be held on Saturday, April 21st at the Byerly Aviation Terminal (at the Peoria Airport) and they’re looking for businesses to donate auction items. If you’d like to help, contact Shelly Livengood at 1-800-822-7972. The more money they raise at the event, the more they’ll be able to continue their mission of providing free air transportation through volunteer pilots for people with medical needs. Shelly and Karen from Lifeline Pilots spoke with me this morning about the event:
