Help Launch Starfighters Academy's Rolling Mission: Wrap Our Ambassador Vehicle!
Hi, I'm Bruce Goldwell—author of the Starfighters Defending Earth trilogy, Vietnam veteran, and the guy who's spent years turning sci-fi dreams into tools for real growth. I'm building Starfighters Academy , a free online Cadet Program that makes learning feel like an epic space adventure.
Teens and young learners become "cadets," progressing through missions that build leadership, teamwork, discipline, STEM curiosity, confidence, and service—all wrapped in the same thrilling universe as my books: where teen gamers step up to defend Earth from real threats. It's not just stories. It's training for the future—where imagination becomes action.
Right now, the Academy is growing, but visibility is our biggest hurdle. Schools, libraries, youth groups, and homeschooled adventurers need to know it's here. That's why I need your help: to wrap my car as a moving billboard for Starfighters Academy. Bold, eye-catching design with our logo, cadet badges, book series callouts, and the tagline "Where imagination becomes training for the future."
It'll drive thousands of impressions monthly—spreading the word organically as I take it to events, libraries, and community spots. The wrap costs at least $2,300. Every dollar gets us closer to launching this "ambassador vehicle" and reaching more future cadets. What your support means:
  • Donors will be added to the Support page https://starfightersacademy.com/supporters.html 
  • A $10 donation gets your name (or callsign) forever on our Squadron Supporters page at StarfightersAcademy.com.
  • $25: Autographed paperback of Starfighters Defending Earth Book I .
  • $100: The full signed trilogy (Books I–III).
  • $300+: Your name credited as a Starfighter Supporter in future editions of Book III: The Last Vanguard —a permanent legacy in the story.
  • Top tier ($1,000+ limited to 2): Your name/business link on the actual wrap—prime mobile ad space!  Every time someone take a picture of the Vehicle to post on Social Media, you get exposure nationally and Internationally.
This isn't about me—it's about the cadets. The kids who'll gain confidence from a mission challenge, the teens finding purpose in teamwork, the families discovering learning can be fun and meaningful.
If you've ever believed in the power of stories to change lives, or if sci-fi sparked something in you as a kid, join the squadron today. Donate now —even $10 makes you part of the mission. Share this with friends who love space adventures or youth empowerment.
Together, let's get this car wrapped and send Starfighters Academy soaring. Thank you for believing in the next generation of starfighters.

Where imagination becomes training for the future.
