After a long stretch of rainy weekends and postponed plans, Above the Clouds finally took to the skies again on Sunday, June 1—and it was nothing short of magical.
We were thrilled to fly nine incredible kids, ages 9 to 16, many of whom had been patiently waiting through multiple reschedules due to weather. These resilient Dream Flyers came from across Massachusetts—and one even made the two-hour journey from Connecticut!
This special day was made possible thanks to the dedication and generosity of 33 amazing volunteers, including:
-
8 volunteer pilots who donated their time, talent, and aircraft
-
5 flight coordinators who ensured everything ran smoothly on the ground
-
And a full team of photographers, joy makers, greeters, and support volunteers who made every moment fun, welcoming, and memorable
We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this day a success. Each smile, high-five, and joyful takeoff reminded us why we do this work—and how powerful it can be for children facing adversity.
