Women in Aviation Conference Fund 2026
Halfway Update
We are halfway done with PhilanthroPete! We have just under 3 weeks left for out project, and are at 44% of our goal. Please consider donating to our project to support our members attending conference. If you are unable to donate we completely understand, but ask that you would still share our project with others who might be able to. Our chapter relies entirely on donations to continue year after year, so every little bit counts.
Thank you to all of our donors for your support so far! You mean the world to us.
Go Pokes!

We need your help!
Flying Cowgirls Supporters,
Thank you for taking the time to view our PhilanthroPete project! In 14 days we have been able to raise $440 to support our chapter members attending WAI Conference. We are extremely thankful for these generous contributions, but we need more donations if we are going to reach our goal of fully funding our members' expenses for conference. Please consider donating to our project! We are truly grateful for every donation of any amount.
Blue Skies and Tailwinds,
