BENEFIT PARTY AT MORGAN FREEMAN'S BLUES CLUB A GREAT SUCCESS!
Guest have called it "epic", "the best party ever", and a "night they'll remember forever". With eight Able Flight pilots as special guests to be honored, and Morgan Freeman there to greet every guest, it was a night of celebration in the home of the Delta blues.
Friends and supporters of Able Flight came from all over the U.S. and Canada for great music, food and friendship at Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club.
A special thanks to Able Flight sponsors Sennheiser Aviation and Embraer Aircraft for sponsoring the party so that all proceeds from donations for tables went directly to our scholarship fund.

With Morgan as host, and with generous donations from our sponsors, the benefit raised just over $30,000 for our scholarship fund, funds that will be put to use immediately in support of training at Purdue and other locations. For more on the party, visit here.
