When it comes to private aviation, luxury and efficiency often take center stage. But for Elite Jets, community is at the heart of everything they do. This fall, the Naples aviation company is once again proving that its mission extends far beyond the runway-by actively supporting local nonprofits and championing causes that make a difference for veterans, children, and families in Southwest Florida.
Elite Jets’ community impact doesn’t stop there. This season, the company is proud to help launch the SWFL Wine & Food Fest season with a special hangar event on November 1, ahead of the main festival taking place February 27–28, 2026. As a title sponsor of the 17th annual celebration, Elite Jets is supporting one of the region’s most prestigious philanthropic events. The two-day culinary and wine extravaganza - featuring Chef Vintner Dinners, a Grand Tasting, and a spirited live auction at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa - raises vital funds for children’s health initiatives. It’s a cause that unites the community around a shared vision: creating healthier futures for local families.
One of Elite Jets’ most powerful community partnerships is with Warrior Health Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping U.S. Special Operations Forces veterans recover from the devastating impact of Operator Syndrome - a condition caused by repeated exposure to concussive blast waves during high-intensity military operations. Elite Jets will once again host the Foundation’s signature event, “Naples Night Out with Heroes,” on March 13, 2026, at its hangar. Last year’s fundraiser raised more than $430,000, providing comprehensive therapy services to 86 veterans. This life-changing care supports their transition to civilian life with strength, dignity, and renewed hope.
Elite Jets’ leadership believes that true success is measured not only by miles flown but also by the lives touched. Hosting charity events at their hangar, supporting children’s health programs, and standing with veterans are all part of their purpose-driven mission. From raising critical funds for specialized therapy to supporting world-class pediatric care in Southwest Florida, Elite Jets is showing how local businesses can be powerful engines for good.
