Pilots Choice Award |
Three cheers for Lightspeed and the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation and the members who worked so hard to get votes for The 99s! For the third year in a row The Ninety-Nines and The 99s Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Fund received a $10,000 Lightspeed Aviation Foundation grant. Lightspeed awarded five $10,000 grants to the five aviation nonprofits who received the most on-line votes in the 2012 grant competition. Thanks to all the supporters and members who cast their votes and encouraged their co-workers, friends and family to vote for The 99s.
While the 2012 Pilot's Choice awards are concluded, the 99s and AAEMSF are also eligible for a Customer’s Choice award. Lightspeed customers still have the opportunity to vote for their favorite charity when they complete their on line warranty registration for a new headset. The Ninety-Nines and 99s Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Fund are one of 20 finalists who will each receive cash distributions of no less than $1,000 and the top 5 organizations, as voted by customers, will each receive checks for $5,000. The voting window will be open until the end of March, 2013. The Customer Choice awards will be presented at Sun ‘N Fun in Lakeland, Florida, April 9–14, 2013. Lightspeed donates a portion of its headset sales proceeds to the Customer Choice awards. A substantial number of Lightspeed customers fail to designate one of the eligible aviation charities when they register their headsets. So if you or any of your pilot friends purchased or will purchase a Lightspeed headset between April 1, 2012-March 1, 2013, please make sure the purchaser goes to the Lightspeed product registration site and designates the 99s and Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Fund to receive part of the purchase for a Customer Choice award.
We have come up with a plan to capture the votes of some of the uncommitted Lightspeed customers. We are asking our friends in local pilot shops to insert a small “Support The 99s and Aviation Scholarships” card in Lightspeed headset boxes on their shelves or, alternatively, to hand the card to the purchaser at the time of sale. Please help us win a Customer Choice award by taking the cards to your local pilot shops in time for the holiday shopping season. Click here to download the file and click here for instructions on printing the card.

The Lightspeed grant competition inspired us to reach out to the aviation community and beyond and tell them about our organization, our scholarship program and our enthusiasm for flight.
Thanks again for all the hard work in helping us win the Lightspeed award.
