Each December, United Airlines and Children’s Hospice International host a Fantasy Flight to the North Pole at Dulles International Airport. Their goal is to take children with life-threatening conditions and their families on a magical journey in a special plane to the land of Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, elves, princesses, storybook friends and TV characters, toys, treats, and everything that each child dreams of at Christmas time.

Mike and his friends from Just Clowning Around of Northern Virginia have been volunteering at the event and making balloons for the children and their families. Here are a few photos from the event on Saturday, December 12, 2015.
