Pitching In For PAASS Returns to the Ag Aviation Expo Nov. 15

Get ready to toss some bags for a great cause! The popular Pitching In For PAASS fundraiser returns to the 2026 Ag Aviation Expo on Sunday, Nov. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Savannah Convention Center. This friendly cornhole competition raises funds for NAAREF and its PAASS program, which promote aviation safety and environmental stewardship.

Teams of two will compete in this fun evening of friendly rivalry and camaraderie. Participation is limited to 64 teams (128 players), with a donation of $110 per person whether you’re playing or observing. The winning team members will each receive a $125 gift certificate to shop at the NAAA Support Fundraising booth on the NAAA Trade Show floor.

Register for Pitching In For PAASS when completing your Ag Aviation Expo registration, or call NAAA at 202-546-5722. We recommend enjoying dinner at one of the many excellent restaurants at the hotel before the event begins, if you prefer a heartier dinner. Bar and light snacks will be available. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
