"Whether or not we're where we want to be, we're always in the position to help someone else," says Predrag M Milenkovich in an effort to encourage others to perform community service. Having travelled much of the world throughout his career, Predrag M Milenkovich is extremely aware of how meaningful community service or monetary contributions can be in someone else's life.

He loves interacting with children and hopes that his continued support of the hospital will give the child to live the healthy life and pursue a lifelong dream.

Currently, Predrag M Milenkovich serves as the president of AvioTech Incorporated, where he manages the acquisition and repair of aviation assets. The position requires Predrag M Milenkovich to spend much of his time at the location in Cleveland, OH, though he has participated in projects in Eastern Europe and North Africa. Since Predrag M Milenkovich's responsibilities as president of one of the world's largest aviation supply firms are so demanding, he cannot volunteer as often with the St. Jude Children's Hospital as he would like.
