Why Support In Flight, Inc.? At In Flight, Inc., we empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to reach for their hopes and dreams and support a meaningful quality of life. We are deeply committed to creating a world where individuals of all abilities are embraced, empowered, and given the tools to thrive. Hosting a fundraiser on our behalf will directly contribute to several key initiatives that will transform lives and make a tangible difference in our community:

1. I-SAIL Driving Simulators: Our Success Academy for Independent Living (I-SAIL) is revolutionizing how individuals with disabilities learn and practice essential driving skills. Your support will help us finalize the installation of cutting-edge driving simulators, providing a safe and controlled environment for individuals to gain confidence behind the wheel.
2. AED Devices Installation: Safety is our top priority. By installing Automated External Defibrillator (AED) devices across our facilities, we can ensure rapid response to medical emergencies, potentially saving lives in critical situations.
3. SMART Technology in Residential Program: We're dedicated to promoting independence and accessibility. Your donation will enable us to introduce SMART technology into our residential program, empowering our participants with innovative solutions that enhance daily living and communication.
4. Staff Training Enhancement: Our exceptional staff members are the heart of our programs. With your support, we can enhance their training programs, providing them with specialized equipment and resources to deliver the highest quality of care to those we support.
5. Community Integration Opportunities: We believe in the power of community connections. Your contribution will support initiatives such as art programs and therapeutic horse riding, creating enriching opportunities for socialization, skill-building, and personal growth.

Join Person-to-Person Giving: Person-to-Person giving is more than just fundraising; it's about creating a community of passionate individuals dedicated to In Flight's mission. Together, we can remove the disability label and foster inclusivity and support for all.
