Information:
The World Record Helicopter Team has teamed up with the Christian Foundation for Underprivileged Children and is planning to have a fundraiser. An around the world ‘world speed record’ helicopter flight, breaking the current record set in 1996. This fundraiser event will raise millions of dollars to improve the lives of needy children in impoverished areas throughout the United States.
Your donations are greatly appreciated and needed to support the Starving and Underprivileged children of the United States. Your Donation is Completely Tax Deductible.
The idea is that people or companies willing to donate money for this project get advertizing space on this website. Since this is a world record attempt with a good cause, it will get a lot of media attention. People will visit this website and it will create more traffic to your websites.
Johan Nurmi who is in charge of this project is an experienced helicopter pilot with 1 world record on his resume. The knowledge is the there, the motivation is there but we are still in need of funds. The World Record Helicopter Team needs at least $600.000 to make this possible, which means that if we can fill all of the advertizing space in the background, we're good to go.
Even if you can't donate any money you can contribute by telling your friends or about this project and link to our website. Thank you!
