The chapter’s first fundraiser was the premiere of the movie “The Theory of Flight,” the story of a dreamer who aspires to human flight, is assigned public service after one of his attempts off a public building, and meets a young woman who is fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Funds from the premiere were the seed to begin funding equipment loans to patients and the other many services and programs that were to follow.
