BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The Honor Flight expedition to Washington, D.C. is a massive financial commitment. With nearly 100 veterans making the trip it costs about $150,000 in donations just to send our heroes.
So, your generosity is crucial in making it happen.
Honor Flight Kern County received a $10,000 donation last week from Bakersfield Congressman Kevin McCarthy. And they received another big donation Monday.
Honor Flight accepted a check for over $36,000 from talk show host Ralph Bailey for the fundraising effort. The check presentation was at 10 a.m. Monday morning in the parking lot across from the Portrait of a Warrior Gallery on Eye Street.
The next Honor Flight to Washington leaves Bakersfield on October 18.
