It’s a historic day for the Badgerland Jet Pilots, and I couldn’t be more proud of all Jet Blast attendees & sponsors, committee members, The Rock campground, and all the seasonal campers at The Rock who came together and succeeded with our fantastic team effort for Jet Blast 2026.
As a result of this effort, Michelle Sucharski and I were able to deliver our JB26 donation of $10,900 (yes, a new record) to Fred Hebert, Director of the Central Wisconsin Community Action Council food pantry and outreach organization. And it means that our running total donation to the CWCAC is now $72,000.
Each and every year of this I’m so amazed and grateful for all of you and your dedication and trust in all of this craziness. I mean, I never doubted nearly 16 years ago that an event like this could start from basically nothing and grow into something cool and fun, but I never expected this level of stoke, satisfaction, and success. From the bottom of my heart as well as Michelle’s and Fred’s, thank you…thank you all for being critical parts of this ride on the crazy bus.
