Reliving Wings for Dreams 2025 and a record-breaking night of generosity

Textron Aviation’s 2025 Wings for Dreams event brought together customers, partners, employees and community supporters for an unforgettable night of purpose on Thursday, November 13. Together, attendees raised an extraordinary $5.4 million, bringing the event’s total impact since 2015 to more than $25 million.

Funds from this year’s event will support life-changing resources for 300 youth in Northeast Wichita, one of Kansas's most challenged neighborhoods. Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Kansas, Wichita Habitat for Humanity and Hunger Free Kansas are collaborating to establish a new program to provide 360-degree support — safe housing, nutritious food, education and life-skills development. The Kansas Health Foundation will maximize the impact of every dollar by providing visibility to the impact of the project and the power of each gift.

The evening celebrated the spirit of going “The Extra Mile” for Kansas youth. From live auction moments to a performance from ACM and CMA award winner, Jon Pardi, Wings for Dreams once again demonstrated that extraordinary things happen when we come together with a shared purpose.
