Be Part of Aviation History in the Making

The Tampa Bay Aviation Association (TBAA) GALA is more than an event — it’s a celebration of innovation, leadership, and legacy in aviation. Hosted at Peter O. Knight Airport, this one-of-a-kind evening honors the First All-Woman Air Show and pays tribute to the women who have shaped — and continue to shape — the future of flight. 

As a sponsor, you’ll not only align your brand with a premier aviation celebration, but you’ll also help fuel the future of the industry. Proceeds benefit the Betty Skelton Scholarship Fund, providing aviation scholarships to young women in Tampa Bay and empowering the next generation of pilots, engineers, and aerospace leaders.
