Why: On April 4, 2018 we lost a son, brother, uncle, friend, incredible fighter pilot and an all-around good dude when Maj. Stephen “Cajun” Del Bagno perished during a training flight with the USAF Thunderbirds. He was also just shy of his 35th birthday on April 30th. Since Cajun can’t be here with us, our family would like to honor and remember him during the month of April by raising money for his scholarship fund while encouraging people to get outdoors and do an activity that he enjoyed. There is something healing about being in nature and he was always down for a good hike!
