Default 2007 RDRC NC Fly for Tots!

RDRC "Fly-for-Tots" event in Raleigh, NC. Sept. 15-16, Charity fund-raiser. Here is the information from Robert Vess:

As you may know, the purpose of the "Fly-for-Tots" event has always been to have fun enjoying our hobby with like-minded individuals while raising money for a great cause involving less-fortunate children. And this year we have chosen a very great cause. I have been doing some NASCAR consulting work with Petty Enterprises and have come to really respect the Petty family for their integrity and what they give back to others.

After the tragic loss of Kyle Petty's son Adam in a 1999 racing accident, they honored his memory by biuilding what is now known as the "Victory Junction Gang Camp" to enrich the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically sound environment.

The camp operates solely on the donations of wonderful corporations, organizations and individuals. So RDRC has decided to step up and work extra hard to help make a difference for some precious children again this year. When I asked Kyle if a certain dollar amount that RDRC feels it might be able to raise would be significant, he replied "that would be huge, since it will send 6-10 kids to the camp for a week!". That is insprirational!

100% of the proceeds from the "RDRC Fly-for-Tots" event will go to this cause!

Please take a minute to visit the Victory Junction Gang Camp website to learn all about it. And you'll quickly see why we are so passionate about this year!

Last year we had 140 registered pilots, and a thousand or more spectators! Here's a couple of aerial shots of that one. AWESOME! This year we are expecting about 200 pilots and even more spectators. It's easily the largest RC event in NC!
