The Flying For Good featured May submission is Colonels Fly'n Aces. The club is located in Taylorsville, NC. The club actively raises money for three different charities in their community. On Memorial Day weekend, the club hosted their annual Spring Fling Fun Fly. All proceeds from the event supported Sipe's Orchard Home, a local children's home that houses teens approaching adulthood who need help learning to live on their own. Sipe's Orchard Home also has a preschool program that helps kids prepare for kindergarten. This year, the Colonels Fly'n Aces raised $500 to help Sipe's Orchard Home. On July 14, the Colonels Fly'n Aces will be hosting Warbirds Over Hefner Air Field to support the Alexander Chapter of the DAV. The funds will be designated to directly benefit the local disabled veterans. The club will also host their final event of the year on September 15. The event is Fly'n for Food to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of NW North Carolina. 
The club is able to donate proceeds from all of their flying events. They have chosen to keep donations local because the money has a bigger impact and the charities depend on the community for support. The AMA would like to thank the Colonels Fly'n Aces for giving back to their community. The AMA wants to know how your club has given back to charity.
