Every summer, the HALO Foundation recruits exemplary students from the local schools to attend our student Leadership, Education, and Development Retreat. It is important to us that everyone in America know the story of what happened on September 11, 2001. The crew and passengers aboard United Flight 93 knew their plane was hijacked, and was heading to the nation’s capital. These strangers came together, talked about what was happening, and VOTED to try to take back their plane and save thousands of lives. They were the first heroes to fight in the war on terror. During this retreat, the students will learn the story of the 40 heroes and the tough decisions that were made. The students are taught to develop their leadership skills; tasked with creating a business plan; work as a team leader with others; and make a better impact in their community. They will then go back to their schools and rally their classmates to join their cause.

Twenty years ago, Sharon Deitrick made a promise to the Heroes of Flight 93’s family members. She promised them that their story of self-sacrifice of saving our Nation’s Capital would never be forgotten. Sharon Founded the HALO Foundation and started giving presentations in schools throughout the area and surrounding states teaching children about what happened when 40 ordinary people illuminated heroism as they came together, voted, and fought back against terrorism on September 11, 2001. Each child was encouraged to raise 93 cents by doing a chore, giving up a treat, or some small sacrifice to them, to help raise the funds to build the Flight 93 National Memorial. This was the beginning of 93 Cents for Flight 93.
HALO exists to develop students as servant leaders by recognizing specific overlooked needs in the community and illuminating the selfless example of the heroes of Flight 93 as our model.
