AMA now offers a different way for you to support your favorite programs and initiatives, such as club grants, scholarships, and the National Model Aviation Museum. Visit www.modelaircraft.org/pass-the-torch to sign up to become an AMA Foundation Torchbearer. This program allows you to donate to the foundation monthly through direct payments or by using a debit card or credit card. If you would like to sign up for the giving program, you can also contact Kelsie Walker, AMA Foundation director, at (765) 287-1256, ext. 279, or by email at kelsiew@modelaircraft.org. A livestream launch took place in January to announce the program and included Joe Vermillion of Balsa USA. Here are some comments

made on AMA’s Facebook page and YouTube channel during the livestream:

Mike Fitzgerald: Has AMA considered outreach to educators in partnership with STEM leaders from state departments of education?

Daren DTH: Great presentation guys. Good job thinking outside the box. Thinking of the future while dealing with the present is a worthy multitask. Of course will be shared. Daren Hudson, AVP District 1, Donor and Outreach advocate. Career aviation professional/ airline pilot motivated through modeling.
