Grand Prize Details
Grand Prize: 1964 Cessna 172 (N3991S)
You’ll be proud to be the pilot of this upgraded, refreshed and thoroughly gone-over IFR Cessna Skyhawk. The 1964 model was the last year with the manual “Johnson bar” flaps yet it has the rear window and basic appearance of a brand-new 172. The plane has 3,650 TT and the smooth 6 cylinder Continental 145 HP engine has only 100 hrs Since Major Overhaul! The state-of-the-art upgrades include new Garmin Avionics: 650 GPS/Nav/Com, 255 Nav/Com, Audio-Panel, 345 ADS-B In/Out Transponder (which enables weather and traffic to be shown on the 650) and three GI-275s replacing the Altitude Indicator and the Horizontal Situation Indicator (eliminating the vacuum system). The exterior is in Good condition, painted overall white with bright red and black stripes (wheel pants will be installed). The interior is in Great condition with a matching red & black color scheme. The plane will come with a fresh Annual Inspection and Pitot/Static/Transponder IFR checks completed. It’s the perfect plane in which to earn your Private license or work on an advanced certificate or rating.

Meet Micah
Born with one leg shorter than the other, 17-year-old Micah has been flying with Wings of Hope from her home in Kansas to Shriners Children’s St. Louis since she was five. After 16 surgeries, Micah is close to completing her treatment. She says her last flight with Wings of Hope will be bittersweet: “You guys have watched me grow up.”
A junior in high school on track to graduate early, Micah’s not sure what she wants to do after graduation – but her flying days may not be over. She’s thinking about becoming a flight attendant.

It is not our intention to make this look confusing. We use this system to prevent duplicate tickets from being issued during high rush ticket sales.The cost of a raffle ticket is not deductible as a charitable contribution. The IRS considers a raffle ticket to be a contribution from which you benefit. If you receive a benefit from making a donation, you can only deduct the amount of your donation that is greater than the value of the benefit you receive. The IRS explicitly prohibits deducting the cost of raffle tickets as a charitable contribution.
