Register now for National Model Aviation Day
AMA’s Executive Council has selected the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) as the national charity of support for this year’s National Model Aviation Day celebration. The money raised will benefit the group’s Charitable Service Trust. The national organization will share event information with its local branches, but each of these branches operates separately from the national organization.
It is important for clubs to note that choosing to support DAV is not required for participation in National Model Aviation Day. The main goal of the event is to celebrate the hobby and to promote model flying in your communities. Clubs can select a different charity, or choose to celebrate without including fundraising activities. A number of resources are available on the National Model Aviation Day website, including fundraising and event ideas, press release templates, flyer templates, and soon we will be providing packages that clubs can purchase to further promote their events.
Registration is now open. Please visit nationalmodelaviationday.org/register to sign up. Each club that registers will be listed in the back pages of Model Aviation and in an event ad, will be promoted on the National Model Aviation Day website, and more.
This is a pivotal time for aeromodelers to stand united and to show communities throughout the country the many positive aspects of the hobby.
Continue to visit nationalmodelaviationday.org for important updates and information about the event.
