Honoring Capt. John J. Sax, USMC through Aviation Scholarships

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported the Capt. Sax Foundation and welcome our new followers.

Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit honors Capt. John J. Sax, who tragically lost his life during an MV-22B Osprey training mission. Each day, we remember and honor the crew of 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝟏-𝟏—𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭. 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐨, 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐱, 𝐂𝐩𝐥. 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐂𝐩𝐥. 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐩𝐥. 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝.

Our mission is to share John’s story and celebrate his passion for aviation by granting scholarships in his name. In 2023, we awarded 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 $𝟐𝟓𝐤 in scholarships and are slated to grant another $𝟐𝟓𝐤 by the end of 2024. We hope to eventually exceed these amounts, helping more individuals pursue their aviation dreams.
