Students Helping Honduras

Skydive Orange helped local UVA students raise $350 for Students Helping Honduras. The event was held at Trinity Irish Pub, located directly across from the historic grounds of The University of Virginia.

Students Helping Honuras is a NGO operating out of the United States and Honduras. Honduras has the worst gang epidemic on the planet. Each year, thousands of children join gangs like MS-13 and Mara 18. Honduras is also the 2nd poorest nation in the western hemisphere, where 66.2% of its people live in poverty. With access to a quality education and jobs the Honduran people can fight back.

We are so happy to help contribute to this excellent organization and would loves to help others, as well. Please contact us if you are hosting an event and would want some skydivers to help get people hyped and spread the word!

About Whitney Payne

Co-Operations Manager at Skydive Orange - Working with Skydive Orange for 10+ years - Previously positions held: Office manager, manifest, guest services, social media manager, she does it all! “If you told be 10 years ago I’d be co-managing a skydiving facility and loving every minute of it, I would have laughed in your face. I am not an adrenaline junkie, not spontaneous and definitely not a thrill-seeker but I love these people. Skydivers are truly a different breed of people and I am forever thankful for them accepting me into their community. Watching people visit Skydive Orange to face fears, celebrate milestones or just jump out of a perfectly good airplane has been truly life changing for me and helped be become the person I am today.” – Whitney Payne
