Our Charity for 2026:

Link to How to Donate

Honor Flight Columbus is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring America’s senior Veterans with a trip to Washington DC to visit their service and war memorials.  These trips are free of charge to any qualified veteran. We strive to help Veterans share their stories with future generations, as well as celebrate their service to our country with a proper homecoming that many of them never received. With the conclusion of the 2025 Flight Season, we have successfully flown 148 missions that totaled over 10,900 Veterans. Our organization is funded entirely by donations from various businesses, foundations, school organizations, and other grateful Americans.

For every $1 donated, up to $10, you will be given a raffle ticket!

*please note, only items donated for Raffle Prizes will be announced during the Trade Fair. You may draw and announce the winner of your donation, if you desire. There will be a check-in table to drop off your donation. Unfortunately, we cannot have separate prizes from Vendors announced, due to time constraints.

Community Association Managers, please share with your Volunteer Leaders!
