Wings Over Batavia Air Show organizers soared one last time for the season to serve up more than $11,000 to local service organizations for their volunteer efforts during the event’s two-day activities at Genesee County Airport this past Labor Day weekend.

Event co-chairs Pete and Doreen Zeliff distributed $11,032.86 in proceeds to the following agencies for providing volunteers to help with parking, crowd control and food concession stands during the holiday weekend:

  • Genesee County ACORNS (Association for the Conservation of Recreational and Natural Spaces)
  • Batavia Lions Club
  • Batavia Ramparts
  • Crossroads House
  • Elba Class of 2024
  • Friends of the Rink
  • Genesee County Spartans
  • GO-Art!
  • Rotary Club of Batavia
  • Boy Scouts
  • YWCA of Genesee County

The Zeliffs hosted the agencies recently at Eli Fish in Batavia for some food and drink, and the monetary award distributions, and to thank them for their assistance during the newly resurrected, inaugural 2023 air show.
