Official First Flight Centennial Sponsors

By investing in capital improvements and educational programming at Wright Brothers National Memorial, the site of the first flight, our contributors recognized the importance of inspiring the next generation of innovators. With their support of the Celebration, these friends are commemorating two brothers who changed the world. 

Thanks to our U.S. Mint Commemorative Coin program, contributions to Foundation projects were matched - dollar for dollar. We salute these Official First Flight Centennial sponsors and donors for their wise and effective investment to create the legacy of an improved Wright Brothers National Memorial.
