SFBAA to host fundraiser for Dreams Soar

On May 26th, the SFBAA will be hosting their monthly Afterburner Social, but will also be ty­ing in a special fundraising event to help promote the Dreams Soar initiative and Shaesta Waiz’s in­credible flight around the world.

Shaesta was born in Afghanistan and came over to the United States at an early age. She attended Embry Riddle where she earned her Bachelor and Masters degree. Several years ago Shaesta founded the Dreams Soar initiative, whose mission is to partner with strong female role models at the 31 stops on her around-the-world flight to share and promote the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. All information on Shaesta and her efforts can be found at www.dreamssoar.org.

The fundraiser will be taking place at the Orion Jet Center at Opa Locka Executive Airport from 5:30-7:30pm. Shaes­ta will be flying her bonanza down from Daytona and will be saying a few words about her program and her upcom­ing travels. There will be food & beverages served and we will be holding a silent and live auction to raise money for her travels. So far auction prizes will include several private jet sunset flights, vacation packages, catering packages, aircraft detailing, and several other great prizes.

The event is open to the public and the goal is to raise at least $5,000. Please be sure to invite your friends/clients and anyone else you think may be interested in helping to support her cause.
