CalDART award help

Posted on by

CalDART, a 501(c)3 corporation that formed last summer as a wholly owned entity of CalPilots, is promoting disaster preparedness in California by connecting pilots with their communities to provide disaster air transportation service.

CalDART has entered the Endeavor Award contest in hopes of picking up the $15,000 award, entering Paul Marshall as the candidate pilot. If he can get enough votes, CalDART will get a check for $15,000.

Paul Marshall is about half way down the list of pilots.

You’ll need to enter your email address, and you will need to click on a response email to validate your vote. You can find out more about CalDART at caldart.org, and you can vote on the Endeavor Award here.
