Gift of BLING from Karyn King of SkyQueenKing

Written By Beth White

We are grateful for the incredible generosity of Karyn King of SkyQueen Jewelry and the SkyQueenKing Scholarship for our Habitat for Aviation Lady Pilots. She has been a steadfast supporter of Habitat for Aviation, and her contributions have made a significant impact on both our Rosies and the community. She donated a stunning collection of aviation-themed jewelry, including earrings, zipper pulls, necklaces, and her signature bling bling keychains. These beautiful pieces not only serve as a reminder of the incredible world of aviation but also helped raise funds for our mission to empower young women in the field.

In addition to these gorgeous items, Karyn extended her generosity by providing two $3,000 scholarships, which is playing a pivotal role in helping three of our Rosies pursue their pilot’s licenses. This support has been instrumental in furthering the education and dreams of these young women, allowing them to take significant steps toward their aviation careers. Karyn’s thoughtful and meaningful donations have directly contributed to their progress and success, and we can’t thank her enough for her commitment to our cause.

We are incredibly fortunate to have Karyn King as supporters of Habitat for Aviation. Her gifts, both in the form of beautiful jewelry, scholarships, and Karyn’s inspiration as a student pilot herself have helped shape the future of aviation for our Rosies and provided much-needed resources for our programing. Her kindness and dedication continue to inspire us, and we are deeply grateful for all that she has done to support our mission.
