Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Operation Good Cheer event, and this year the Child and Family Services of Michigan want to make it the biggest year yet!

The CFSM's "Operation Good Cheer" is an event where Donor groups and individuals purchase and wrap Christmas gifts from a child's "Wish List". At donor sites, these gifts are picked up, loaded and transported by volunteer trucking companies and their drivers to a centrally located airport. Volunteer pilots and drivers use their aircrafts and vehicles to transport gifts to local airports across Michigan. At each airport, foster agency volunteers gather the gifts and deliver them to the children and youth in foster care. This impressive display of generosity provides thousands of youth, some of whom would not receive anything otherwise, with gifts and the joy of knowing there are people who care.

And ZOB wants to help! Further details and information will be provided but we'll be giving away FOUR copies of the IniScene KBUF airport that was released this year for Microsoft Flight Simulator (details on how to win TBD)!

All we ask in return is that you consider donating to this awesome cause to benefit the children this Christmas.

So get those presents loaded up at PTK as we'll be staffing PTK, LAN, MKG, and AZO from 2359z to 0400z!
