Children of Fallen Heroes – NextGen Aviation & Skydiving Program

This project supports Children of Fallen Heroes' aviation, indoor skydiving, and leadership development programs for youth from fallen military and first responder families, foster youth, caregivers, and Title One school communities.

Funding provides flight exposure, tunnel training, equipment, coaching, competition travel, and STEAM-based aviation education that builds discipline, confidence, and career pathways.

Proven at the national and world level. The CFH NEXT GEN Dynamic Team are national champions and World Championship medalists in aviation athletics. The CFH Parachute Team was recognized as the 2023 ICAS Pinnacle Platinum Performer of the Year.

The program is anchored to the CFH Legacy Campus — 82 acres secured in Vass, North Carolina — where Phase 1 construction includes a grass-strip aviation runway and an indoor skydiving wind tunnel.

This program develops future pilots, engineers, leaders, and innovators through structured mentorship and real-world aviation experiences.
