The Madera Air Show 2010 is proud to announce that our VIP Dinner Dance & Auction will be held on the evening of May 22, 2010. The VIP Dinner Dance is hosted by Madera Jet Center and all proceeds from the silent & live auction go directly to Children's Hospital of Central California.

Last year many of our airshow pilots visited children at the hospital and our auction raised $4,000. The donation check was made to Children's Hospital in their lobby by Madera Jet Center President Albert Buccieri & Air Show Coordinator Joe Conway. We hope to do much better than this year for a tremendous organization!

The dinner dance/auction is set in the beautiful hanger owned by Madera Jet Center (a major sponsor of this years airshow) and we will have several vintage warbirds & bombers as the backdrop for this special event. A limited number of tickets are available for this event at $50.00 each. Contact Albert Buccieri at 559.675.1400 for any questions.

All pilots from the airshow will be at the dinner and it's a unique opportunity to visit with them and have them sign autographs. We will have over 50 tremendous silent auction items to help us raise funds for Children's Hospital Central California and a few "live ones" including a ride in a the beautiful P-51 Mustang "Lady Jo". Don't miss this opportunity, it truly is a fun night.

If you or your company desires to help sponsor this event or donate a silent auction item, please give us a call. We appreciate your support!
