80 for 80 Challenge

80 years of impact

This year, MAF celebrates 80 years of flying help, hope and healing to the world’s most isolated people.

That’s 80 years of life-changing service, 80 years of reaching the otherwise unreachable, and 80 years of God’s love in action!

Making a difference

To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re inviting world-changers like YOU to make it unforgettable by joining our 80 for 80 Challenge.

We’re asking you to set yourself your own 80-related challenge!

The question is… what could YOU do for 80?

Be bold. Be creative.

Do something wild, meaningful, or just plain fun – all inspired by the number 80.

Whether it’s 80 minutes, 80 hours, 80 days, doing something 80 times, or any other creative use of the number 80, there are so many things you can do to make a difference.

 

Watch the video and check out these ideas…
