December 2025

Greetings!

As we close out another remarkable year at Challenge Air, our hearts are full of gratitude.

To the families who trust us with their children, the volunteer pilots who generously share the gift of flight, the countless volunteers who make each Fly Day possible, and the sponsors and donors who believe in this mission—thank you. Because of you, children and youth with special needs experienced confidence, joy, and the freedom of flight in 2025. Your support truly changes lives.

While our Fly Days pause for the holidays, we are already planning an exciting 2026. The new year will bring more opportunities to fly, more smiles on the ramp, and the launch of Fly Days in a few new cities as we continue to expand our reach and impact.

As you celebrate this season, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful holiday, a peaceful close to the year, and a bright new year ahead. Thank you for being part of the Challenge Air family—we can’t wait to soar together again in 2026.

Before the year ends, don’t forget there are only a few days left to purchase your chance to win two round-trip tickets on JSX. It’s a wonderful way to support Challenge Air while dreaming about where your next adventure might take you.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Invite Challenge Air to Share the

Power of Possibility

Bring the mission of Challenge Air to your next event. Our team would love to share inspiring stories, program impact, and how flight changes the lives of kids with special needs.



Request a speaker today and help us spread the power of possibility.

 Together we are changing lives through flight!

Volunteer Pilot and Board of Trustee Larry Robicheaux says it best: “If you can fly an airplane, what else can you do?”At Challenge Air, that question is the spark we hope every child carries home after their flight. It’s the reason we’re working toward an ambitious goal — flying 1 million kids and helping each one discover their limitless potential.



But we can’t do it without you. As we look toward the year ahead, we invite you to consider making a year-end donation. Your support helps children with special needs build confidence, dream bigger, and see a world full of possibilities take flight. ✈️💙
