ABOUT OUR EVENT PARTNERS

The National WASP WWII Museum is dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of the Women Airforce Service Pilots and preserving the legacy of Avenger Field on which most of them trained.  Our mission is to educate and inspire all current and future generations with the story of the WASP – the first women to fly America’s military aircraft – women who brought honor to our nation and forever changed the role of women in military and civilian aviation.

The mission of Noah Project is empowering victims to become survivors and working to end domestic violence and sexual assault. Noah Project is a non-profit center of care for victims of family violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, serving 10 counties in West Central Texas. We offer shelter and outreach support services to women, men, children, and unaccompanied youth who are victims of family violence, domestic violence, dating violence, both stranger and non-stranger violence and human trafficking. Our services are confidential and free.

The Noah Project will be accepting donations on-site for Abilene women in need.
