\u00a0For over 45 Years, SUN \u2018n FUN has brought millions of aerospace professionals, businesses, supporters and enthusiasts together each spring to celebrate the incredible wonder and limitless opportunities of flight. In 2014, we proudly unveiled that the annual SUN \u2018n FUN event would become the primary fundraiser for the Aerospace Center for Excellence (ACE), our STEM-based learning campus created to\u00a0<\/strong>Engage, Educate, and Accelerate the Next Generation of Aerospace Professionals.\u00a0<\/em>At SUN \u2018n FUN, serving our local Lakeland, Florida as well as the global aviation community has always been our ultimate mission.

This year, we will serve those same communities by assisting in the defeat of the COVID-19 pandemic. We stand with our local, state, and national leaders in supporting the social distancing and other health practices that will bring this outbreak to a halt as quickly as possible. Unfortunately supporting these initiatives will mean that the 2020 SUN \u2018n FUN Aerospace Expo will be unable to proceed as originally planned. Our website,\u00a0www.flysnf.org<\/a>, will soon have complete details for ticket holders and event partners.

The annual SUN \u2018n FUN Aerospace Expo provides over $2 million annually for STEM education programs, flight training and aerospace-related college scholarships, and hands-on learning facilities. Based on the SUN \u2018n FUN Expo Campus, this year-round institution reaches over 50,000 students annually and provides free resources for educators to assist them in delivering high-quality STEM learning material.

To continue providing these critical resources, our team is working hard on hosting the 2020 Aerospace Expo in a much different way. We will be utilizing digital technology to bring you exciting events and content online in new and innovative ways. While we are of course disappointed that our traditional show must wait until 2021, we are invigorated and excited to announce several things to look forward to in the coming weeks in our brand new \u201cSUN \u2018n FUN at Home\u201d Series.
