Pilot International Founders Fund established in 1975 to further Pilot’s humanitarian efforts. Since the Pilot International Founders Fund grant program began in 1977, nearly 1,500 grants totaling more than $1.5 million have been disbursed to Pilot Clubs.
The Pilot Club of Naples has been supporting Project Lifesaver for many years and is proud to partner with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office to continue to provide Project Lifesaver.
Project Lifesaver is a 501 (C) (3) community based, public safety, non-profit organization that provides emergency responders and caregivers with the equipment and training required to protect and, when necessary, quickly locate individuals with cognitive conditions that cause the propensity to wander, such as those with Alzheimer’s or autism. Through the use of state of the art radio frequency technology, innovative search and rescue techniques, and accredited first response training, Project Lifesaver member agencies have, to date, successfully located in excess of 3,500 special needs individuals during an episode of elopement; the average recovery times for these rescues are less than 30 minutes, which is 95% less time than standard operations.

Jodi Walborn donated 10 cases (approximately 250) of bike helmets to the Pilot Club of Naples when she cleared out her storage unit. This is really huge and we are grateful that she called
to offer these wonderful helmets to us for our helmet fitting projects. Jodi has been a friend of the Pilot Club of Naples with bike rodeo and safety fairs, helmet fitting certification opportunities for the Anchor Club, the Scholarship House residents and our own members. A sincere THANK YOU to Jodi from the Pilot Club of Naples.

This will be HUGE. With the Covid-19 issues, it may look different but we have been waiting for this one for a long long time.
Hopefully, the Pilot Club of Naples will have several members attending. . . . Think about it.
Traveling together is fun. . . .Just ask Joan
