DFW - Cooks Children's Hospital Fort Worth 2023

Description: It had been 3 years since DFW Pilots for Kids visited Cooks Children's Hospital. We were amazed at how much the hospital had grown. PFK had over 17 pilot volunteers and we needed more. This visit is a room to room visit and it is very personable. We gave gift cards to the parents in the NICU. We also distributed amazing toys to over 270 children throughout our visit. Some pilots were teamed up with a service dog dressed up with antlers to help bring some joy to the children. We went to over 13 areas in the hospital. I want to thank the staff and pilot volunteers for making this visit great.

DFW - Scottish Rite Hospital Visit 2023

Description: DFW Pilots for kids had an amazing visit at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. We greeted and interacted with over 85 patients gifting them with a toy, gift card, arts and craft, pillow pet and a balloon. The joy and cheer that was brought by all the pilot volunteers was amazing. The children were also fortunate enough to be given a children's book "Which came First" autographed by the author, Janet Sever Hull. This event was unforgettable.

IAH - December 8th Houston Pilot's for Kids visit at Children's Memorial Hospital

Description: The Houston Pilots for Kids were invited to participate in the Children's Memorial Hospital Outpatient party on Friday December 8th. The theme of the party was "How the Grinch Brought Back Christmas", and our aviation themed booth was a big hit. This included an activity in which kids fly small airplanes into the hangar for a prize. We also had a pilot license photo prop for families to take pictures. We gave out a wide variety of gifts including pullback airplanes, pilot teddy bears, activity and sticker books, airplane cards and autographed children's books. The visit was a great success, and we plan on visiting again next year in both the Spring and Winter season!
