About the organizations:

Kids in Flight uses aviation to empower children with serious illnesses or disabilities, and their families, through flight experiences and educational programs. Each year, the organization hosts a special day highlighting the wonder of aviation called Wings of Wonder from Burke Lakefront Airport. Children, and their families, are invited to enjoy a day away from it all while taking  part in games, crafts and other activities including a catered lunch and sightseeing flight over Cleveland.  All of this is at absolutely no cost to the families and creates memories that will last forever.
