Wings Of Kilimanjaro (WOK) is a global fundraising event founded by Australian paragliding pilot, Adrian McRae.

Overview
On January 29th 2013, 200 adventurers from all over the globe will depart on a mission to fly from Mt Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. The climb-and-fly event, something that is usually banned by the Tanzanian Government, will raise $1 million for three charities making a difference on the ground in Tanzania: Plant with Purpose, WorldServe International and One Difference. McRae convinced the Tanzanian Government to temporarily lift the ban on paragliding from Kilimanjaro for this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Charities
The event is aimed at raising $1million USD, to be divided evenly between three charities working on the ground in Tanzania.

Pilots and Adventurers
Currently, there are over 80 confirmed adventurers, from 21 countries, fundraising for the event.
