Captain Denny asked me to post about a new fundraiser for the Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund.
UA flight attendant Nick Pino will be running in the New York City marathon on November 2nd. He wanted it to have a greater meaning to the community and to honor the legacy of the heroes of United Flight 93 and has set himself a goal of raising $5,000 for the scholarship fund.
As many of you know, Captain Dahl was the pilot of United Airlines Flight 93 which was hijacked at 9:28am on September 11, 2001, subsequently crashing at 10:02am in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It is believed that the hijackers were subdued by the heroic actions of the passengers and crew on board.
In 2002, the Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund was established to provide two deserving aviation students a scholarship grant in Jason’s name. Originally available to students at Dahl’s Alma Mater, San Jose State University and Metro State University in Denver where Dahl lived, the program has since been expanded to NATIONAL status as an IRS recognized 501(c)3 non-profit program supported through corporate and individual donations alike.
Please join me in supporting Nick Pino and the Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund by making a donation

By the way, November 2nd was Jason Dahl's birthday.
