FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - The Fort Wayne Air Show announced Tuesday that they will be donating all of the proceeds from their pre-show dinner and concert to the nonprofit organization Wounded Warrior Project.

The proceeds going towards the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) will support a full range of programs and services for injured veterans and their families. WWP is a national, nonpartisan organization that is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Fort Wayne Air Show spans over the entire Labor Day weekend, August 31 to September 2. The event is located at the 122nd Fort Wayne Air National Guard Base on 3005 W Ferguson Rd. in Fort Wayne.

The show kicks off Friday evening with a BBQ style dinner followed by an open air country concert featuring Jason Michael Carroll and local band Sugar Shot.

The grand finale for the evening will be a pyrotechnically charged aerobatic performance by air show aviators.

Tickets are $40 for the entire evening on Friday and concert tickets can be purchased separately for $10. All tickets can be purchased through their website .
