How to Become a Volunteer:

The California International Airshow is a fun way to get involved to help raise money for local charities. While you are working you can feel, hear and see the excitement all around you. We are looking for adults, 18 and older, to volunteer their time to work in the following positions: ticket sales, working admissions, directing traffic, ushering, parking cars and various other positions. We need volunteers to be available for a minimum of 8 hours.

Volunteer of the Year Award

For 15 years, Alice Beck was a fixture during Airshow week.  She coordinated all of the meals for hundreds of volunteers and the prisoners.  Her area became known as “Alices Restaurant”.
 
The Alice Beck Memorial Volunteer of the Year Award is given to one volunteer that stands out for their dedication towards our event.  This person must have been a volunteer for at least 5 years.
 
 

Stan Chan
2022 Airshow Volunteers of the Year

Every year the Board spends a lot of time talking about our volunteers.  It is difficult to identify one each year as our Volunteer of the year.  Our recipient this year comes from the Facilities team.  Congratulate Stan Chan as Volunteer of the Year for 2022.   Stan has been a key member of the Facilities team for over 20 years.  A hard worker who always is willing to roll up his sleeves to assist any committee with their facility needs.  We are so grateful to have Stan’s (and his son Wes) dedication, leadership, determination and guts to work several days a year to make our facility the very best for our air show patrons.  Congratulations Stan.
