| Medinah Shrine members having an
interest in aviation and being able to pursue those interests in various ways, as a group,
formed the Aviators and were chartered in 1967. The members of the Aviators, many
who own their own aircraft have taken on the noble cause of flying children to the many
Shrine Hospitals. These children are both burn and orthopedic patients. We fly
both single and twin engine aircraft.
Our
Mission
To
provide fast, confidential, efficient and comfortable transportation for the patients of
the Shrine Hospitals and their parent or guardian, on a no charge basis.
Unit
Profile
Medinah's Aviators fly Shrine
Hospital children and their parent or guardian to several of the Shrine Hospitals.
We also participate in Chicagoland parades with our very unique 1/3 scale Piper Navajo
airplane, raising money for the Shrine Hospitals Transportation
Fund.
The Aviators participate in several local air shows throughout the year, using our
parade vehicle as a static display promoting Medinah Shrine philanthropy
and educating the public about our charity functions.
