Pilots For Kids is an international organization dedicated to helping hospitalized children.

Founded in 1983 by airline crewmembers, the non-profit organization's primary activity is visiting children's hospitals and bringing toys and other needed items to each child. Pilots For Kids members include major, national and regional airline crewmembers, corporate, military and private pilots along with aviation enthusiasts.

The uniformed crewmembers meet at the children's facilities with their arms full of toys and goodies for the kids. The delight in the children's eyes cannot be explained in words as they see the pilots and flight attendants, wearing their stripes and wings, coming down the hallways to visit them.

Each year, generous donations are made to purchase thousands of toys and other items for children’s hospitals and other facilities. Pilots For Kids groups have visited children’s hospitals, orphanages, halfway houses, shelters, and other facilities in cities throughout the United States and in other areas, including Anchorage, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Guam, Tokyo and Bangkok.

One hundred percent of our collected donations go exclusively to benefit the children. Some of our purchases have included medical equipment, wheelchairs and computers for needy hospitals.
