Franconia Soaring Foundation - fundraising to preserve soaring in NH

The owners of the property core to the airport (1B5) in Franconia, NH that has for been leased annually by the Franconia Soaring Association are planning to list it for sale later this year. Expecting this, a core team of the soaring club members, with the approval of the soaring club, worked tirelessly throughout 2016 and Q1 2017 to organize and create the Franconia Soaring Foundation, Inc., an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization to promote soaring (glider) flight and provide opportunities for ground and flight training. Our first and most critical objective is to secure the future of the Franconia Airport (1B5) by purchasing the core property before it reaches the open market. We need all the financial assistance we can muster. To this end we absolutely would appreciate if you would consider making a tax-deductible donation of any value to help preserve this venue for soaring posterity. We are working on our website for the foundation but do not have it set up yet, so if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me directly, John Zanchi (FSF board member) via or 603-569-5582. Your donation to the Franconia Soaring Foundation, Inc. should be mailed to Franconia Soaring Foundation, c/o PC Eiche – Treasurer, 30 Buckridge Drive, Amherst, NH 03031. THANK YOU.
