Pilot Club of Valley Forge |
Mission Statement of Pilot International:
The mission of Pilot International is
to improve the quality of life in communities throughout the world.
The Pilot Club of
Valley Forge, which is the local chapter of Pilot International,
has varied service projects in the community to support children, the
elderly and the disadvantaged.
History:
The first Pilot Club was organized in Macon, GA, in 1921, as a volunteer
service organization for business and professional people. Realizing that Pilot
could benefit so many people outside their own community, the founding members
set out to establish clubs in all 50 states. Because of their diligent efforts
to share Pilot with others, the organization now consists of more than 485 Pilot
Clubs in the United States alone. Pilot members are community-minded individuals
who volunteer their time and resources to helping people in need.
In 1952, Pilot began to recruit youth volunteers through the establishment of Anchor Club, a volunteer service organization for young people. Today, there are approximately 10,000 members worldwide.
Pilot and Anchor clubs work
together to improve the quality of life in their communities, sponsoring
worthwhile programs that help countless individuals in need. Pilot's service
focus is helping people affected by brain-related disorders and disabilities
through volunteer activities, education and financial support. The Pilot
International Foundation furthers the organization's humanitarian activities
through the disbursement of grants and scholarships to support focus-related
programs and activities.
