The Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. (TAI) Wings of Pride Program was established to provide public recognition to those providing contributions, donations, and sponsorships to our organization. All monetary and in-kind support to TAI will be part of this recognition program.
Members of the program are acknowledged with a special lapel pin representing their participation and/or support level. As a donor/sponsor’s contributions accumulate, they move upward into higher levels of recognition. In addition, all members are listed below on the TAI Wings of Pride Virtual Wall of Honor.

With your continued help, we can showcase the Tuskegee Airmen as role models to today’s youth and inspire them to overcome the obstacles they encounter and achieve their goals. U.S. student’s performance in reading, math, and science remains stagnant as other nations plow ahead – this must change.
Our youth outreach is targeted to expose them to career opportunities in aviation, aerospace, and transportation with emphasis on the importance of STEM.
TAI has found that working with communities, schools, and visiting with students stimulates an interest in participating in our programs, thereby creating opportunities for students to be more competitive on the world stage. With your assistance, together we can continue to build on the successes of the past, highlight the role models of today and develop the workforce and leaders of tomorrow.
