Pilot for a Day, A Special Day for Our Very Special Kids!
LakeBridge Forza proudly supports the JBLM Pilot for a Day program at this location. Pilot for a Day is an Air Force program that enables challenged youth a chance to visit an Air Force base, becoming part of the team in the process.
The purpose of this program is to provide a meaningful, positive experience on a monthly basis for a medically challenged child (6-14 years old), who has been prohibited from enjoying the normal joys of childhood.
