PIPCo. Officially 1 Year Old. What a crazy community, I’ve gotten the chance to meet and work with some awesome people along the way and I’m stoked for another year!
I started PIPCo. as a distraction from a rough patch in life. That’s a Pun by the way. The idea was formed in the Milton, FL Village Inn during breakfast after a standard night out at Seville. My four roommates convinced me to give it the “Full Send” after a night of me screaming “This isn’t a beach, this is a bathtub” to any unsuspecting Pensacola local.
The idea was to make funny and cool patches that would help enlighten the struggling morale of a flight student, and see if I could help raise money for charities along the way. It worked and I can’t thank everyone enough for the support, it’s super awesome meeting you all and so sick seeing my patches around bases and in the fleet!
I have to thank some people in particular, first off the boys. You know who you are and you rock. Then, all the flight students who help come up with designs. It’s not just me and it never has been, it’s been all of us, I couldn’t do it alone and I appreciate you all! Next, and the meme pages you’re all Grade A dudes and I would not succeed without you all keeping me in business. Also, I have to thank a big company who gave me a chance! Finally, I have to thank CNATRA. Without flight school being as crazy as it is all of us students wouldn’t get as close as we do and wouldn’t support each other the way we do so thanks Sir.
Now some numbers In 1 year:
Over 30 patches designed and produced.
One patch that made my life a Circus.
Over 500 PIPCo. Patches on the streets
Over $1000 raised for Military and other Charities
Over $700 raised for just Breast Cancer Awareness
Thanks for everyone’s help. I’m super excited for another year. I cannot thank you all enough! 🤡🤙🏼🫡
