We're getting adopted!!!

New for 2011 is the Adopt-a-Racer Youth Program.  Air Race Classic has been working with the Boys and Girls Club of Mobile, AL to get under-privileged girls interested in aviation.  ARC, in conjunction with other community organizations, is hosting a six (6) month program including paper and model airplane construction, airport visitation, Young Eagles airplane rides, career day, hands on aviation activities and a UPS Airbus A300 tour where the youth learned about the opportunity of working for UPS and getting a FREE college education.  Part of the program involves in the interaction of the youth with the racers.  These youth will be emailing us to ask questions about racing and aviation and become part of our 'team'.  They will be 'following' us during the race just as you will.  These girls will be there to greet us when we cross the finish line in Mobile! We just know they will LOVE pirates!
