Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) is proud to host the Fourth Annual Meet-a-Machine benefitting the Children’s Hospital of Georgia.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. According to the National Cancer Institute, there will be an estimated 10,470 new cases of children, from birth to age 14, diagnosed with different forms of cancer each year.

The Meet-a-Machine is a family event that provides the public the opportunity to see, touch, and learn about multiple types of vehicles. These vehicles include emergency response vehicles, planes, aircraft equipment, construction equipment, and much more. The event is designed to raise funds to support the research into the causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatments, and cures of childhood cancers.

“We are excited to, once again, be of service and at the forefront of such a tremendous event,” said Herbert L. Judon, Jr., Airport Executive Director. “This array of different types of ground and aerial vehicles is always fascinating to experience. Meet-a-Machine has become one of the Airport’s signature events and we proudly stand by, and fight alongside, all those impacted by Pediatric Cancers.”

Meet-a-Machine will be held on September 16th from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. by Hangar One at Augusta Regional Airport. Tickets are $5 per adult. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at https://flyags.ticketleap.com/meet-a-machine-2023/.
