MAC AIR GROUP HOSTS SEVENTH ANNUAL MAINE SUITCASE PARTY TO BENEFIT CAMP SUNSHINE

MAC Air Group announces it will once again host the Maine Suitcase Party in its world class hangar to benefit Camp Sunshine—a retreat out of Casco, Maine, for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
The event, on September 21, 2018, from 7 to 11 p.m., is one of the organization’s largest and most highly-anticipated fundraisers. Last year, the Maine Suitcase Party raised $110,000 for Camp Sunshine; this year, the MAC Air Group team expects to exceed that amount by hosting more than 700 attendees.

The concept of the suitcase party is as simple as it is grand. Attendees—who purchase tickets for the event—arrive at the hangar with a packed suitcase and walk the red carpet. Throughout the evening, they enjoy food, spirits, music, dancing and beautiful private jets on display—all while participating in silent auctions and raffles. At the end of night, four grand prize winners and their guests board one of MAC Air Group’s private jets and take off to New York City where they enjoy luxury accommodations in Times Square, a limo service and $500 in spending cash.
Attendees can also win weekend stays at coastal Maine resorts, as well as tickets to New England sports games.
Proceeds from the tickets (ranging from $100 - $250 each, or 12 for $1,000), silent auction and cash bar are then given to Camp Sunshine.
MAC Air Group will give away tickets to the event in the coming weeks via its social media channels. The company will also offer pilots 10 AVTRIP Points per gallon when visiting its FBO—MAC Jets—from September 20 – 23.
Those interested in attending can learn more and purchase tickets at campsunshine.org/subdomains/suitcaseparty.
