Paragon Aviation Group and the Houston, Texas-based company’s network of independent FBOs are joining with Houston Regional Aviation Professionals (HRAP) to raise money for Camp Hope, which provides interim housing for veterans who were wounded or are suffering from combat-related PTSD, as well as their families. Through March 31, Paragon Network FBOs in the U.S. and Bahamas will have custom wristbands available for a donation.

Paragon said many of its FBOs also plan to match the donations. HRAP’s fundraising for Camp Hope will also come from a clay shoot it holds each year for charities. Last year, HRAP raised $20,000 for Lighthouse Charity to provide meals for victims of Hurricane Harvey.

“Paragon Aviation Group and our network FBOs are delighted to be a part of this campaign to give back to those who serve our country,” said Megan Barnes, president of Paragon Aviation Group. “Our FBO members are incredibly giving and we are all honored to help HRAP in their efforts to assist Camp Hope. Supporting the charitable goals of the Houston Regional Aviation Professionals, a truly generous group, has and will continue to be a priority of ours.”

Paragon's U.S. and Bahamas members comprise 28 FBOs.
