Welcome to southwest Florida - home of the PARADISE COAST CHAPTER 99s.
The all women's AIR RACE CLASSIC comes to town in June 2010 and Page Field, Fort Myers, FL will be in the spotlight during this 34th annual event. We anticipate more than 50 teams of  women from all over the world to compete in this cross country race, ending in Frederick, MD. As co-hosts for this event, along with Lee County Port Authority, the ladies from Paradise Coast are in need of volunteers both before the event to help with planning and preparation for the influx of visitors and during the event to show off our south Florida hospitality.
Why are we doing this? Simple: 99s love to fly; we love airplanes and we love everything about aviation and we want to share our enthusiasm with you and with the next generation of aviators. That is why we have established the WINGS OVER PARADISE SCHOLARSHIP. All of these activities are designed to raise money for the Scholarship Fund to help young women achieve their dreams of flight. There are many who want to fly; some lack the financial resources to enter the winged world and we want to help. Do you know a lady who fits that description? Send her to us. We want her to join us; we want to be her inspiration; we want to put the lift under her wings. We need your help, too. We need for you to support our efforts with contributions of money and donated items for our Mega-Raffle - become a sponsor; we need you to enter the Sunshine Derby - become a participant; we need you to help us with our projects - become a volunteer.
