Jingle Jet Celebrates 10 Years of Helping Families

Tony Zazza, Host of syndicated radio show “Zazza Mornings with Cheree”, and Founder and President of the Board of Directors for The Zazza Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, partnered with Elite Airways, Cumulus Media and Apex Executive Jet Center to launch Jingle Jet™ 2017 to the North Pole ealrier in December.

Jingle Jet helps local families in who have been met with undue hardships throughout the year. On December 13, the families boarded an Elite Airways CRJ-700 Aircraft, deemed “Jingle Jet” for the day and landed in a North Pole wonderland of holiday surprises and fun. Zazza created and produced the project in Dallas, TX, for a number of years and this year marks the 10th Anniversary of Jingle Jet’s inaugural flight.

“It’s been incredible over the years to see these families who deserve a break get that moment to escape and enjoy some family time and a day of magic,” Zazza said.

“The holidays are a time for giving, and Elite Airways is honored to take families on a magical flight from the Melbourne Airport to the North Pole on Jingle Jet,” said John Pearsall, President, Elite Airways.

Jingle Jet departed Orlando Melbourne International Airport (MLB) with non-stop service to Santa’s North Pole (SNP). After a quick flight around the skies of the Space Coast, Jingle Jet returned to the airport where upon arrival, the families entered a designated area that has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland at Apex Executive Jet Center, complete with Santa and Mrs. Claus, face painters, snowmen and more. Each family was also presented with their own Christmas tree, gifts and holiday trimmings.

The families chosen for this magical journey were nominated by family members and friends who sent submissions to The Zazza Community Foundation website .



Gary Mertins, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Media-Melbourne, said: “We’re so proud of Tony and his foundation’s work. His ongoing commitment to the community and involvement in doing charity work like this with his morning show is one of the reasons he’s here. We can’t thank Elite Airways and Apex Executive Jet Center enough for making it happen. This will truly be a special holiday experience for these families in need.”

“Zazza Mornings with Cheree” broadcasts from Cumulus Media-Melbourne, FL’s 107.1 WA1A, and is also heard on 97.5 WABD in Mobile, AL, and Z96 in Ft. Walton Beach/Destin, FL, Zazza has been a radio personality for almost 20 years and had a dream to bring his vision for helping families during the holidays to life. He continues his mission to help create a holiday families will never forget through Jingle Jet.
