One of the objectives of our local club is to reach out in the community and help those suffering from brain disorders. Some projects toward that end have been:
Visit local schools and educate children about “BrainMinders,” a safety program which highlights injury prevention and a program for adults on maintaining and improving their memory.
We also participate in annual bell ringing and collecting food for the Salvation Army.
Planning activities for a local assisted living facility and the for the caretakers working there. Our members enjoy preparing crafts for them to make and treating them to a monthly spa day and last but not least making home made cupcakes to celebrate their birthdays.
In addition to the above, we make significant contributions to local charitable organizations that are selected annually by our membership, such as:
Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind (BABB),
Nana’s House, The Children’s Hunger Project, 211, Brevard Alzheimer’s Association (Joe’s Club), Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind, Camp TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), Candlelighters, Daily Bread, Devereaux Therapeutic Home for Girls, Heads Together Brain Injury Support Group, Nana’s House, Project Lifesaver, Promise In Brevard, Salvation Army (Melbourne Fl.), and The Children’s Hunger Project

Fellowship and Fun Times
Pilot Club members participate in monthly meetings and activities for fellowship and fun. Pilot is an international program and there are training and conventions at the district and international level. Members enjoy getting to know each other and joining together to support each other. Florida Pilots have joined together to raise funds to support scholarships and even 5 scholarship houses at universities in our state (https://www.pilotflorida.org/pi-scholarships/). We also choose and support other non-profit organizations with our time and organize ways to raise funds for them.

BrainMinders
Project Suds
This project targets our homeless veterans. Each week Veterans meet at a local laundry where they are provided with change to do their laundry, have a meal, and where they can find services they need. Pilot's provide wellness bags with needed hygiene items.
BrainMindersTM is Pilot International’s signature program originally designed in 2001 to teach safety to children to help prevent brain injuries. It was made possible through an in-kind grant given to Pilot International Foundation and a gift from the estate of Callye Harrell Neese. Realizing the need to teach brain injury prevention to people of all ages, Pilots have expanded the program to include presentations for youth and seniors. Most Pilot Clubs as well as many Anchor Clubs present BrainMinderTM Programs to persons of all ages, based on the services needed in their community. Pilot International was awarded the prestigious 2001 Association Publications Contest Grand Prize for the BrainMindersTM Program. Pilot Clubs are groups of caring people who come together in friendship and service. Together they learn and develop into stronger individuals.
Spa Day
Can you trim fingernails, polish nails, or with a gentle hand apply hand lotion? Our seniors look forward to the interaction as we visit one day each month.
