A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WITH A PASSION FOR RC.
INITIATIVES AND CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS.
Hobbies for Good is the charitable arm of Horizon Hobby that collaborates with Horizon Hobby on select initiatives. Horizon Hobby employees see the bigger picture and realize they’re part of something bigger than themselves. Whenever possible, we strive to make a difference by using hobbies as a platform to help people. We regularly donate our RC products to help charitable organizations raise money for great causes and send RC aircraft and vehicles overseas so members of our military can have a little fun now and then while serving so far from home.
Horizonites are always sharing their passion for hobbies by helping out in schools, youth groups, and clubs with added Horizon Hobby benefits like. employee matching for approved charities and scholarships that benefit the broader RC and modeling communities. Other Horizonite initiatives have raised money for cancer research, provided food and shelter for families in need, and provided American Red Cross contributions for victims of natural disasters.

WE START WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
Hobbies for Good is dedicated to the growth and sustainability of the RC hobby. By providing resources for new and existing clubs, and supporting events that bring enthusiasts together, and supporting groups that use RC to build the community, we aim to ensure the long-term vitality of this hobby. Our initiatives help maintain and expand the infrastructure that makes RC activities accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
At Hobbies for Good, we’re passionate about the generational bonds and shared experiences that radio control hobbies foster. We emphasize the social and communal aspects of RC clubs, celebrating the diverse subculture of hobbyists—from builders to racers and pilots, too.
