2022 was our first year participating in Monterey County Gives, and we are thrilled to have raised $73,009 from 77 donations (plus a matching gift from the organizers, still pending). Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! We will use these funds to provide opportunities for youth to explore, observe, and create on land and on board the iconic Western Flyer.
We want to acknowledge several MCGives gifts made in honor and memory of friends and family, including a couple of names you might recognize!

“[Tex] is a sure man with an engine. When he goes below he is identified with his engine. He moves about, not seeing, not looking, but knowing. No matter how tired or how deeply asleep he may be, one miss of the engine jerks him to his feet and into the engine-room before he is awake, and we truly believe that a burned bearing or a cracked shaft gives him sharp pains in his stomach.”
