As part of The National EPICC Campaign, where nearly 5,000 people from 23 states will be traveling to New York City during Veteran's Day Weekend (Nov. 9 - 12th) to show their support for the airlines and commerce in New York, hundreds of Irvine, Calif., USA, teachers entered a random drawing to win a free airline trip to New York City.

The 10 winners were announced Monday and received their tickets at a special presentation at City Hall.

"They represent the nation's teachers, and their experiences in the Big Apple will produce curriculum and experiences to be shared with their students and the schools they represent," said EPICC co-founder, Mitch Goldstone of 30 Minute Photos Etc., located in Irvine.
