Gather pledges then ski, snowboard or tube at Timber Ridge to help send WWII veterans on one last mission to our nation's capital.

'Talons Out Takes the Ridge' happens 6 p.m.- midnight, Friday, February 12 and with your minimum $25 donation, you can hit the slopes and help our veterans take to the skies.

Talons Out Honor Flight provides all expense paid trips to Washington D.C. for WWII Veterans to visit the memorials built in their honor. All flights are funded through community donations. Twenty five dollars raised buys lunch and dinner, $50 includes the cost of a jacket, and $500 covers the entire cost of a veteran's trip.

The top fundraising individual (of $500 or more) will have the opportunity to be a guardian and escort a veteran on their flight.
