Donations Will Support EAA's Youth Aviation Education Programs

The Leeward family and EAA have created the Jimmy Leeward Memorial Fund in his memory to benefit EAA's youth aviation education programs. Proceeds from this fund will go directly to those programs that each year help tens of thousands of young people pursue their own dreams of flight and create a new generation of aviators.

Leeward was a lifelong aviator and an EAA Director for more than 30 years. Passionate about flying ... he was also passionate about welcoming others to the world of flight, whether it was helping his own children become third-generation aviators, or inviting others to discover the joy, excitement and sense of accomplishment in the sky.

Part of Jimmy's legacy was his ability to make his dreams a reality in all parts of his life. The fund honors his memory in the same way, and will serve to benefit future aviators. In lieu of flowers, the family asks everyone to keep Jimmy's passion for aviation alive through donations to EAA's youth aviation education programs that are helping to create the next generation of aviators.
