Congratulations to Our P-51 Ride Auction Winner — Don Monroe
We’re thrilled to congratulate Don Monroe, the winner of our P-51 Mustang Ride Auction! Don’s winning bid didn’t just earn his son Darren a once-in-a-lifetime flight — it directly supports our mission to empower and uplift veterans through meaningful experiences and community programs.
The P-51 Mustang
The P-51 Mustang isn’t just a plane — it’s a symbol of courage, precision, and the indomitable spirit that helped define an era. For Darren, taking flight in one of the most legendary aircraft in history is more than just an adventure; it’s a connection to the same bravery and commitment that drives our veteran community every day. When that propeller starts spinning and the Mustang takes off, it’s not just the thrill of flight that fills the cockpit — it’s the echo of history, the heartbeat of service, and the reminder that freedom is never free. Darren’s journey in the sky stands as a tribute to the veterans whose legacy continues to inspire us all.
Supporting a Mission That Lifts Others
Every bid in this auction — and every person who participated — played a part in helping us continue our mission here at WIN. Your support helps us create programs and experiences that reignite purpose, confidence, and community for veterans who have given so much for our country. From aviation experiences, we’re committed to giving veterans opportunities to grow, connect, and thrive. Don’s contribution, and the generosity of all who supported the auction, make it possible for us to keep that mission in motion.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To Don, we thank you for your enthusiasm, your support, and your willingness to take this incredible ride for a cause that matters. And to everyone who bid, shared, or donated — your involvement reminds us that we’re all part of something bigger. Together, we’re building a community that not only honors veterans but actively empowers them. We can’t wait to share Darren’s flight experience and the moments that come with it — the roar of the engine, the view from above, and the emotion of honoring those who’ve served by taking flight in one of history’s most iconic warbirds.
Stay Tuned
We’re already preparing for more events and opportunities that bring together passion, adventure, and purpose. The sky isn’t the limit — it’s just the beginning.
Congratulations again, Don and Darren — and thank you to everyone who continues to stand with WIN. Your support keeps our mission flying strong.
Thank you to all of our sponsors for their continued support of WIN.
