Charitable Giving
Since 1988, the Oregon International Air Show has delivered nationally acclaimed Air Shows that do more than dazzle – they inspire. Each show is a celebration of innovation, courage, and community, designed to ignite passion for aerospace, honor our military heroes, and bring people together in unforgettable ways.
But our mission goes far beyond the skies.
The Oregon International Air Show supports charitable giving through three key initiatives:
1. Funding the Oregon Air Show Charitable Foundation
2. Providing cash contributions to local nonprofits
3. Donating event tickets to support charity auctions
