2017 Hartford Riboff

June 17, 2017

We are thrilled to be teaming up with Hartford Riboff as one of the 2017 beneficiaries to launch a new scholarship fund called the Pegasus Wings Program – Pilot Training Fund, created specifically to enable inner city high school students, and/or those living below certain income levels, to launch a career in aviation.  The Pegasus Wings Program Pilot Training Fund fund will start students on this path with flying lessons geared towards earning a pilot’s license, with the plan of securing this license by the recipients’ high school graduation date.

This year, the 8th Annual Rib Off Contest’s goal is to raise at least $25,000.  We plan to select five high school students to participate in the Pilot Training Fund, enabling them to fulfill their dreams of becoming pilots.  Additionally, we will host the adults living at the MARC Group home at the Hartford Rib Off, so that they can enjoy bbq and great music, and also will send them to have a day out with the Hartford Yard Goats at the stadium.
