Last week we hosted our 7th Annual Duncan Aviation Make-A-Wish Car Show at our facility in Lincoln, Nebraska! The car show featured nearly 150 cars, trucks, and motorcycles and participants got the opportunity to take a photo in front of the company owned Pilatus PC-12. All of the money raised will be donated to Make-A-Wish Nebraska to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We were lucky to have our Make-A-Wish Kid, Sawyer, and his family, join us for the day! Sawyer was the star of the show and got the opportunity to choose his favorite car, a blue and white 1968 Rally Sport Camaro, and sit in the Malmo Volunteer Fire Department and Lincoln Fire & Rescue fire trucks and Lincoln Police Department cruisers. Sawyer LOVES dinosaurs, and the most touching moment of the show was when we informed Sawyer and his family that his wish was coming true, and he would be going to Universal Studies to see Jurassic Park World, ride the Jurassic Park River Adventure, and the Jurassic World VelociCoaster! He was even presented with a custom dinosaur themed fire helmet and a gift basket from Raising Cane's. You can watch the 10/11 News story here: https://bit.ly/3My3hnL The trophies truly are one-of-a-kind and required a team effort. The parts and materials were provided by our Engine Parts Reclamation and Engine RGA Teams & Components/PRS Department. The fabrication, finish work and assembly of trophies were completed by our Components Paint Team, Duncan Manufacturing Solutions (DMS) and Alternate Parts Solutions (APS) Teams. Management of the project was conducted by APS and the Car Show committee. A special thank you goes out to all of the sponsors who helped make the show a success. Thank you to the Malmo Volunteer Fire Department and Lincoln Fire & Rescue for bringing out their fire trucks, Museum of American Speed for bringing out multiple cars, and the Lincoln Police Department for bringing out their historical Dodge Diplomat and the modern LPD recruitment SUV. Thank you to The Copper Kettle, Mule Bar & Eatery for providing all the food and your continued support! Also, a huge shout out to the car show committee members, and the 30+ team members who volunteered to help with the show. #DuncanAviation #CarShow #MakeAWish
