SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, California USA — ShadowAero is pleased to announce that from July 9, 2003 to July 18, 2003, they will donate all profits from the sales of their products to the CERTA organization to help in their quest to establish a new amateur rocketry capability in Utah.

From the CERTA website:

"CERTA is a new, not for profit organization which promotes math, science and techology education through hands on experience and participation in experimental rocketry. It provides both educational outreach for preschool through college and beyond by offering on-line classes, courses, and projects that teach multiple facets of math, science, technology and the arts and technologies applicable to rocketry. CERTA will provide on-line design and simulation tools; offer real life opportunities for research, development, and testing for students of all ages and abilities, host conventions, conferences, workshops, summer camps and other educational opportunities; publish popular and peer-reviewed journals for experimental rocketry, and maintain testing and launch facilities for both amateur and professional experimental rocketeers."

"I am investing my personal and business interests in the future of the noble pursuit of amateur rocketry in the United States to the exclusion of all hobby rocketry activities," states ShadowAero President Dave Triano. "I see the well-planned and carefully executed scientific exploration of rocketry by the gentleman (and woman) amateur scientists of this nation as the future, and this fundraiser is a first step in direct, concrete support of these activities. Mark Spute has begun a great work in Utah, and deserves the support of those with an interest in the unfettered pursuit of our chosen activities."
