Cessna Becomes Major Sponsor Of Able Flight

Signs On For Second Year Of Sponsorship

Able Flight announced Cessna Aircraft Company recently signed on for its second year of sponsorship, and increased its support allowing it to become one of Able Flight’s major sponsors.

"In their decision to not only continue their support of our scholarship fund, but to do so as one of our Platinum Level sponsors, Cessna has made a powerful commitment to our mission of using aviation to transform the lives of people with disabilities," said Able Flight Executive Director Charles Stites. "From the beginning of Able Flight, they have recognized the positive impact that flight training can have on the lives of inspiring people who meet the challenge of learning to fly."

Able Flight has awarded 12 scholarships in the 13 months since announcing its first scholarship, and plans to award up to 15 additional scholarships during 2008. Flight training is ongoing at three flight schools, with a fourth soon to be added. By July of 2008, Able Flight estimates that as many as ten scholarship winners will have completed training.

Able Flight's mission is to offer people with disabilities a unique way to challenge themselves through flight training, and by doing so, to gain greater self-confidence and self-reliance.

Able Fight is a national program, and the only one of its kind in the United States. The program awarded its first two scholarships December 19, 2006. In April 2007, the group awarded two scholarships to wounded veterans; it plans to award up to one-third of all scholarships to wounded veterans.
