The
Eagle Flight is a Non-Profit Organization that
began seeking personal and corporate
sponsorships in 2004 as well as holding
fundraising events in both the United States and
Canada. All funds raised through sponsorship,
fundraising, and individual and corporate
support go towards paying for the day to day
costs of operating a world flight.
Costs range from a few cents for pencils and
other office equipment to hundreds of dollars
for aeronautical charts and thousands of dollars
for the fuel the Eagle Flight will burn while
flying throughout this endeavor! Companies such
as Utah Valley State College, West Mesa
Aviation, R&M Steel and Northwest Appraisal
Company have donated thousands of dollars to the
Eagle Flight project.
The Eagle Flight has many companies sponsoring
the team through equipment donations such as
Artex, a Chelton Company, who donated a new
digital Emergency Locator Transmitter for the
world flight, to Seattle Avionics who donated
flight planning software for the 2005 United
States Phase I tour. Other corporations such as
Pepsi have donated products to sell at
fundraising events and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) donated cloud
posters to give to each child Jared flies over
the three year duration of the Eagle Flight
project.
The team also raises funds through selling tee
shirts, patches, globes and other miscellaneous
items such as Wing Names, where individuals have
the opportunity to place their name on the wing
of the aircraft that will travel the world in
2006.
The Eagle Flight is still
actively seeking sponsors for the global
circumnavigation and will be holding various
events for media and advertising opportunities.

any level, please visit our

With out the generous support of the community
and our supporting companies, The Eagle Flight
would have never taken flight. Thanks to them,
hundreds of children from around the world will
have the opportunity to climb into the cockpit
and reach for the sky!
