(BPA) which is a non-profit organization and recognized under federal codes that establish501(c)(3) and 509(a)(2)charitable organizations. Our mission is to educate young men and women in aviation by training youth in skill-related programs. NOGE endorses Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through many activities. One activity that NOGE support is the BPA Summer Flight Academy (SFA). Held in Houston, TX, cadets receive approximately 10 hours of flight instruction and 40 hours of ground school instruction. Cadets learn all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements to becoming a pilot. Operating this SFA is costly, and we request your financial assistance for this academy to be a positive endeavor. We also conduct flights around the state to introduce different fields of aviation to church bodies, youth groups, and primary/secondary schools. We have flown thousands of students since These flights are free, normally during weekend fly-in activities. We have certified flight instructors (CFIs) that encourage and inspire youth to seek STEM related careers and/or hobbies. Many began as cadets and some have become military or civilian aircrew members, air traffic controllers, aerospace engineers, and aircraft technicians. NOGE invites your sponsorship by making a generous tax deductible contribution. Youth members and cadets will benefit exclusively from your contribution during flight activities. Your contribution amounts are $5,000, $3,000, $1,000, $500, or $100. This contribution will empower youth to deliver the highest quality of experience to fill the aviation workforce of the future and soar to new heights! Donations can be made at donate.html. Once your charitable contribution is made, an organizational letter will be sent acknowledging your donation for future tax deductions. As the undersigned, I am the primary point of contact for this letter. I may be reached at noge.donate@gmail.com or (225) Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
