      URGENT: HFI Needs Your Vote Now!!!
URGENT: HFI Needs Your Vote Now!!!

Helicopter Foundation International (HFI) works to ensure the helicopter industry’s future success and to preserve its rich past. Last year HFI awarded 18 scholarships. These scholarships were awarded for Commercial Helicopter Rating Scholarships (4), Maintenance Technician Certificate Scholarships (6), and Bill Sanderson Aviation Maintenance Technician Scholarships (7) to attend maintenance courses at various institutions throughout the country, and one Michelle North Scholarship for Safety. HFI would like to build on that success and expand our scholarship offerings for this year.

The Lightspeed Aviation Foundation has announced that it will award a $10,000 grant to the top five vote getting aviation charities. HFI would like to be one of those lucky top five charities. YOUR VOTE CAN HELP HFI SPONSOR ADDITIONAL HELICOPTER PILOT AND MAINTENANCE SCHOLARSHIPS.

Over the past few months, HFI has made a number of requests for your vote. We have had great support from those who have already cast a vote. It is important that, within these last few weeks, we get votes from everyone who has not yet lent their support by voting. HFI URGENTLY NEEDS YOUR HELP, as the voting nears its conclusion. If you forgot to cast your vote, it is not too late. Please do so now! Voting ends at midnight on Friday, September 16. The winners will be announced at the AOPA Summit on Friday, September 23. I urge you to act! The voting process is fast and easy, and will require less than a minute of your time. Vote for HFI at:

Additionally, you can visit either Helicopter Association International’s (HAI) website, www.rotor.com, or HFI’s website, helicopterfoundation.org, to cast your vote. Your vote can make a big difference for some deserving pilot and maintenance students as they struggle financially to pay their tuition expenses. Your support can help make it happen for them. VOTE NOW! Visit the HAI and HFI websites to see the countdown until voting ends, and to have a quick link to the voting page.

Please forward this message to friends, coworkers, and associates. The more people participating and voting for HFI, the better our chances are of success, and for reaching our goal to increase our scholarship offerings. No purchase is necessary to vote. You can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook for additional updates. We need EVERYONE’S vote!

HFI is grateful to those individuals and companies who have given so generously to the HFI Scholarship Fund. Thank you in advance for your vote and your ongoing support of HFI’s Scholarship Program. Your help is greatly appreciated.
