Breazeale Donates to March of Dimes

Wilmington, NC – Airline pilot Will Breazeale of White Lake attended the March of Dimes Celebrity Chef Auction at the Wilmington Hilton Hotel Thursday night. He donated a sightseeing flight of the Wilmington area to the auction to help them raise money for their effort to reduce premature births.

A three time veteran of the Iraq Wars and no stranger to volunteering for worthy causes Breazeale said “This is just such an important event, helping to find ways to prevent premature births, I’m proud that I could do my small part in the effort to raise money”. As a member of the Angel Flight Network of Southeastern North Carolina Will also volunteers his time, money and flying skills to fly critically ill patients from Southeastern North Carolina to destinations all over the Eastern United States for medical treatment and testing.

The evening saw several hundred local people come together to sample the excellent food prepared by local chefs and to bid for the donated items. The wonderful food prompted Breazeale to comment “If these people had been cooking for us in Iraq, I’d have had to get my body armor let out!”

“My goal of raising ten cents per foot of elevation was slightly optimistic” he said, “ but if I hold the ceiling to one mile it will be close.”

During the social hour before the auction, the people attending got to find out from Breazeale about his run for Congress in the 7th district, which includes Wilmington.
