Cleveland, Ohio—The registration deadline for Wings of Wonder, an aviation-themed event for ill children and their families, has been extended until Sept. 3.
The free event will be Saturday, Sept. 18, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at Continental Airline's hangar at Hopkins Airport. (The event is private – families must register in advance.)
"We wanted to make sure we reached those families who may have not heard about Wings of Wonder by giving them extra time to register," said Maria Weybrecht, Kid in Flight founder.
The 2010 version of Wings of Wonder will be a reunion of Kids in Flight families who participated in past events in addition to new families who have interest in the program. Families will enjoy food, games and entertainment in a festival-like atmosphere and be able to see displays of a variety of aircraft.
More information about how to register for the event is available on the organization's website, www.kidsinflight.org.
Even though the Wings of Wonder event is private, a new, public event to support Kids in Flight programs has been created.
The second Soaring for Dreams Charity Gala, will be immediately following Wings of Wonder on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 7:00 to 11:00pm at Brennan's Catering & Banquet Center, 13000 Triskett Road in Cleveland. It is the organization's sole fundraising event of the year.
"So often I'm asked, 'What can I do to help? I don't have a sick child but I want to get involved,' " said Weybrecht. "With the Soaring for Dreams Charity Gala, we now have a fun, inexpensive way for everyone to support our mission and have a wonderful, fun evening at the same time."
Attendees must purchase tickets for the gala in advance by visiting www.kidsinflight.org/sfd.
