Whirly-Girls to host Casino Night

Whirly-Girls International Press Release | February 24, 2017

Estimated reading time 1 minute, 17 seconds.

Whirly-Girls International, a non-profit, educational, and charitable organization dedicated to advancing women in the helicopter aviation industry, has announced that it will be hosting its first-ever Casino Night this year at HAI Heli-Expo in Dallas, Texas. All proceeds will go towards the Whirly-Girls Scholarship Fund.

Whirly-Girls is an organization of over 19,800 female helicopter pilots in 45 countries and continues to grow as women are becoming increasingly active in helicopter aviation. The Whirly-Girls Scholarship Fund, Inc. (WGSF) was incorporated in 1974 to oversee and administer the scholarship funds raised by the Whirly-Girls and its auxiliaries, and is a federally tax exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. Initiated in 1968, the scholarship program has grown from a single $500 scholarship to a wide range of training and development scholarships.

To continue in the spirit of supporting Whirly-Girls and its mission, Eastern Region Helicopter Council (ERHC) has agreed to sponsor the Whirly-Girls Casino Night. The party will immediately follow the Whirly-Girls Annual Awards Banquet at the Magnolia Hotel’s Pegasus Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, on March 5 at 8 p.m. and all are invited to attend. All proceeds raised will go towards funding the Whirly-Girls Scholarship Fund, thereby further promoting women in the helicopter industry.
