Nampa, ID—07/21/10—Mission Aviation Fellowship has been named as one of twenty charities that will be a 2010 beneficiary of Lightspeed Aviation’s newly formed foundation.

Mission Aviation Fellowship serves 1,000 Christian and humanitarian organizations through aviation, communications and information technology, in countries throughout Africa, Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America.

The Lightspeed Aviation Foundation is partnering with all members of the pilot world to actively support aviation growth, education and works of compassion. Allan Schrader, president of Lightspeed Aviation, says, "This foundation has the values of our company at its core.  We hope it will enable pilots everywhere to participate with us in advancing aviation’s impact in our world."

All pilots are invited to vote at Lightspeed Aviation kiosks at participating air shows throughout the year, or by going online to LightspeedAviationFoundation.org. The top five charities, as chosen by the pilot community, will each receive a check for $10,000 in November, 2010.

Additionally, Lightspeed Aviation customers can also participate by designating a portion of their purchase, ranging from $25 to $50 of any recent purchase to one of the nominated charities. They can indicate their gift designation at the time they register their new headsets online at LightspeedAviation.com.
