Black Tie & Boots Gala
Each year, the CloudDancer Scholarship hosts the Black Tie & Boots Gala — our signature aviation scholarship gala event — an evening of dinner, live auction, and celebration honoring our scholarship recipients and the supporters who make this aviation scholarship gala event possible.
The aviation scholarship gala event brings together veterans, military families, aviation professionals, and community leaders for an unforgettable evening of celebration and philanthropy. Every dollar raised at the annual gala goes directly toward funding pilot training scholarships for deserving veterans and aspiring aviators through the CloudDancer Scholarship program.
Since its founding, the CloudDancer Scholarship has awarded thousands of dollars in aviation scholarships to help veterans and students pursue their dream of flight. Our annual fundraising gala is the cornerstone of these fundraising efforts, featuring live entertainment, silent auctions, keynote speakers from the aviation community, and heartfelt tributes to the men and women who have served our country.
