According to current statistics, one out of eight women will find out that she has breast cancer. This has affected many of our members and will continue to do so in the future until a cure for breast cancer is discovered.

HOW IT WORKS

• This is a 99s Flying Activities event to encourage more flying by pilots and involvement from non-pilots as passengers. While flying, The 99s will raise money for Breast Cancer Cure.
  
  
• Any time during the year, get pledges for donations from people you know to raise money for Breast Cancer Cure. Use the pledge form shown below to print additional forms.
  
  
• During the designated time period in your Chapter or Section area, keep track of the amount of time you either fly an aircraft or ride along in an aircraft.
  
  
• At the end of the event, collect the pledges from the people on your pledge form. Turn the proceeds in to your local chapter. Chapters forward your proceeds by January 30, 2008.
  
  
• Chapters or Sections may designate their own time periods to coincide with their kickoffs and other events in their area.
  
  
• There will be recognition of individuals, Chapters, and Sections for their outstanding participation. Look for details in the 99 News and Dispatch, and at the International Meeting in 2007.

RE: LOCAL WOMEN PILOTS SPREAD THEIR WINGS AND THE WORD

_________: Local Women Pilots Spread Their Wings and the Word for awareness of Breast Cancer.

These women are participating in an exciting annual Fly for the Breast Cancer Cure. The Ninety-Nines International Organization of Women Pilots has sanctioned this event. The Ninety-Nines have a rich history and have been organized, operated and celebrated by many famous aviatrixes. The first president of the organization was Amelia Earhart.

The focus of the organization has not changed since its inception over three quarters of a century ago. The mission is still to promote world fellowship through flight, provide networking and scholarship opportunities for women, provide aviation education in the community and preserve the unique history of women in aviation.

During the year, pilots all over North America will be collecting pledges for every hour they fly.

One in 8 women is afflicted at sometime in their life with this disease. That said it would be hard to meet a man or a woman who has not been affected by the terms of this disease in some facet. This event creates another facet of awareness to this plague by catching the attention of the public and celebrating at the joys of flight.

This press release is an invitation to the media to contact The Ninety-Nines International for more information on this event, and/or to connect with local women for interviews. This event and those involved offer interesting opportunities for human interest stories.
Please contact _______________________ with any questions or for more information.
