I am pleased to report that the contract between the FMA,
the USS Midway Museum, and the San Diego Foundation
has been completed and the Flying Midshipmen Endowment
Fund established.
A total of $35,000 from the Aviation Midshipmen Foundation, combined with an
equal amount contributed by the USS Midway Museum provides $70,000 as the
initial corpus to the Flying Midshipmen Endowment Fund
Below you will find information on how to contribute to the Flying
Midshipmen legacy. A total of about $360,000 is needed as the base sum sufficient
to produce income necessary to support the Flying Midshipmen Youth Aviation
Training Program in perpetuity on Midway. I am confident that our membership
will be generous in support of the program. For example, if each of us contributed
$500, we could achieve the goal practically overnight.
Of significance is the fact that the USS Midway Museum has signed on as a Founder,
which means that Midway will continue to support the program through its fund
raising efforts well into the future.
