ACE Holding “Amazing Race” Fundraiser with CFAA Students

Students Race in 4-Leg, Timed Sim Race Throughout Central FL to Support Educational Programs

The Aerospace Center for Excellence will hold an unorthodox fundraising opportunity to bolster their year-round educational programs, holding a Youth Sim Race between teams drawn from its Central Florida Aerospace Academy program. The high school racers will compete in a 4 leg, timed race throughout Central Florida, competing to be awarded points based on the completion time of each leg. The race portion of the drive begins on November 29th, but from now until then teams will be racing to gain as many donations as they can - and the team with the highest ACE donation total will get access to the race route 24 hours before everyone else.
