This December, the Salesforce/Tableau Detroit User Group is coming together to make a real difference. We’re volunteering with Operation Good Cheer, a Michigan tradition that has brightened the holidays for children in foster care for over 50 years.

Each year, nearly 20,000 gifts are sorted, and loaded onto planes, and flown across the state—delivering Christmas wishes to kids who might otherwise go without. In 2024 alone, Operation Good Cheer brought smiles to more than 6,700 children and youth, thanks to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers and pilots who help turn this holiday miracle into reality.

Now, it’s our turn to help make the magic happen.

Extra ask but not required to attend the event

Calling all pilots — your flight plan to make a difference starts here! ✈️

On Saturday, December 6, 2025, volunteer pilots are needed to fly thousands of gifts from Oakland County International Airport to airports across Michigan as part of the Spirit of Good Cheer flights.

If you or someone in your network can help, please register by December 1 at www.goodcheer.us and select “Pilot” to provide your aircraft details.

Your wings can help make Christmas wishes soar! 🎁✨
