Our Mission:
"Utilize aviation to
inspire, motivate and provide a path for young people to
realize their dreams"
Founded in
2007, the Ryan J. Poe Foundation was created by
world-renowned
aerobatic pilot Greg Poe as a means of supporting his
youth program called “Elevate Your Life”. This exciting and
nationally recognized program came about as a result of
Greg's son Ryan’s tragic drug related death in August of 2002.
 With the passing
of Greg Poe on July 24th, 2011, our
mission needs your
support more than ever. The Ryan J. Poe Foundation is making
great headway with new plans to continue Greg's work and expand, so please give
generously. We are accepting requests for presentations
nationwide, and our new program is a step up with brand new
content and more activities! We now feature school
fundraising projects, more opportunities for flights,
scholarships, and a few surprises! Please call for more
information.

Up in the
Air with Greg Poe - by Kathryn Tenbarge
Soaring
through the sky like a bird,
Watching clouds float lazily below,
Feeling the
wind as you twist, roll, and dive,
Seeing the world spread out below you,
Like a bird,
you fly with freedom,
Like a bird, you do what you please,
No one can
stop you,
When you're up in the air.
Dear Greg
Poe,
Thank you so
much for taking me flying. It was an amazing experience that
I'll never forget. I now have a new dream- to be a pilot, or
even a professional stunt pilot like you are. Thank you for
inspiring me to fly.
Sincerely,
Kathryn
