Why My Company or Organization Should Get Involved

The Lee Owens Foundation Inc. (501c3) and its many supporters and sponsors welcome your participation in ATRIBUTE FLIGHT TO BLACK AVIATORS. From Octave Chanute and Bessie Colman to Hubert Julian and the Tuskegee Airmen, their contribution to American History and Aviation is indelible, yet hardly recognized. We believe that the youth of our nation will benefit greatly from hearing and experiencing the legacy of these Great Americans. The Lee Owens Foundation was created to fill a void of educating, training and edifying at-risk young people who aspire to become aviators, scientists or engineers. The foundation funds a special benefits program for all Vets and contributes to the treatment of Prostate Cancer. Captain Owens and his around-the-world flight will make 28 stops and cover 12 nations to celebrate their achievements. National and international television networks have pledged support and coverage of every mile of this historic flight. Good Morning America and The Today Show have agreed to not only follow the flight but to participate, as FOX Network has signed on to be the “Official” weather tracking network for the mission. The entire flight event will be chronicled in a made-for-TV documentary presently being negotiated with several major cable and educational channels. An estimated 430 Million viewers worldwide will access information on the flight while nearly 900 million will be invited to track the flight via the Internet. It is projected that more than a billion people will be exposed to some facet of the flight during the 30 to 47 day event. Depending on the level of participation, your sponsorship may also entitle you to a bundling opportunity beyond the World Flight. On each anniversary marking Captain Owens return, the African American Aviators Annual Air Show (5Star Fly-In) will be held to commemorate this historic flight. As a sponsor of the 5Star Fly-in your company will gain exposure to an additional 175,000 people and approximately 1.5 million additional impressions each year. This celebration of our Veterans will stand as a lasting tribute to the Unity of America by honoring those who sacrificed for the dream of that very Unity.

The trip is dangerous, the pilot is dedicated and the cause urgent. “We need to share what these brave aviators did in service to their country,” Says Capt. Lee Owens. “This flight is a long overdue reminder.”

Captain Lee Owens (left) shares one of many Air Show booth events with three original Tuskegee Airmen, Col Robert Ashby, Dr. Thurston Gaines and Col Asa Herring. Let’s honor them now.
