Cajun's Aviation Dream Turns 5 Today!!!

Where has the time gone!?

It still feels like yesterday that we were faced with the unthinkable. Our family has received so much love and support over the years and that helps us continue to find the strength to carry on Cajun’s legacy and his mission to inspire the next generation of aviators!

In these 5 years, we have sponsored over 30 young people with scholarships ranging from Discovery Flights, Flight Lessons and camp spots to the EAA Advanced Air Academy in Oshkosh, WI each summer. We have also sponsored a Redbird Velocity Flight Simulator (with an F-35 & F-16 Thunderbird sim) which is permanently housed at the EAA Camp Lodge for all of the campers to access for years to come.

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to play a small roll in these young people’s lives. Cajun would be so honored and proud! We feel very blessed to have your love and support!

We are happy to announce that we will get to sponsor young people again next year and applications for 2024 will start opening on Dec 1st. Please be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and sign up for updates on our website!

Stay tuned for details regarding a gettogether around Cajun’s Angelversary (April 2024). We will also be doing our virtual hike fundraiser again, April 4-30th, 2024. Details available here: https://cajunsaviationdream.org/fundraisers-1

Let 2024 be the biggest and best year yet!

"Find your PASSION, that gives you PURPOSE, be PERSISTENT in your pursuit, be PERSONABLE - Humble, Credible, and Approachable, and you will PROSPER."
