[/av_textblock] [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”] Traditionally, Memorial Day weekend is a major event for the American Eagle Foundation. This year was no exception.
Al Cecere and ambassador Bald Eagle Challenger appeared on Fox & Friends TV Show on Saturday morning, May 25. Video is shown below.
After finishing up with the TV interview, AEF staff and Challenger then flew to Charlotte to participate in opening ceremonies at the Coca Cola 600 race on Sunday evening (May 26).

A brilliant blue sky, a spectacular Bald Eagle – a perfect performance by Challenger at the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.
