It is pretty expensive to make these flights happen. To support Honor Flight, you can donate, host a fundraiser, or become a volunteer. A variety of people volunteer for everything from administrative tasks, to piloting a flight, to accompanying veterans on the trips.
Or, of course, you can attend the variety show on February 13th!
SwingColumbus is thrilled to be supporting this worthy cause!
Event Info:
Jukebox Revue
featuring local and regional talent performing music from the Big Band era.SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13 at 2 p.m.
Westerville Central High School, 7118 Mount Royal Ave., Westerville
Music from the Big Band era, featuring the swingin’ sounds of The Continentals Band, 7 year-old piano prodigy Gavin George, and Award-winning accordionist Joe Natoli. Lots of fun and surprises!
Expect the return of the Big Band sounds, great performances from local and regional artists and a few surprises. “Bob Hope had the right idea with the USO tours,” said David Colley, a Westerville resident who volunteers on the Honor Flight committee. “We’ve adopted that vision of bringing that era back and being entertained by that classic variety-show format. This event is going to be a lot of fun for a great cause, and help the vets of WWII in our area who so deserve to take the Honor Flight for their day of honor.”
