To the strains of “Jet Airliner” by Steve Miller Band, campaign co-chairs Annie Rizzo and Amanda Augustine of IRMC exited an airplane that approached the hangar and revealed that the goal for this year was $654,321.90. Augustine talked about the special meaning behind the number.
200 people were in attendance for the event, and the campaign is off to a good start with $183,000 already raised.
