“We and our sponsors are proud to hold our inaugural event in the Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Pavilion at the California Science Center,” said Mark Wolper, President & Executive Producer of The Wolper Organization at Warner Bros. and Chair of the Endeavor Awards Gala Host Committee.
“We acknowledge the leadership of the California Science Center in making this venue available to all of us in Los Angeles. It’s a special place indeed for those of us who love flying to be able to celebrate what the gift of flight has brought to our lives and the public good. And we join the California Science Center in saluting the great achievements of the heroic astronauts and members of the Space Shuttle Endeavour missions.”
Endeavour Astronaut Scott Parazynski and his fellow astronauts will welcome Endeavor Awards guests, along with Hollywood luminaries, Greg Kinnear, Robert Zemeckis and Ed Asner as they honor the true heroes of flying, both individuals and organizations, who have demonstrated their commitment to Public Benefit Aviation.
Proceeds of the May 4, 2014 event will benefit Angel Flight West (AFW), along with other Volunteer Pilot Organizations nationwide, providing a corps of charitably-minded pilots giving the gift of flight to thousands of children and adults who require treatment at faraway medical centers.
