Presents Check For March 8 Event At Bolling AFB
For the fifth consecutive year, EADS North America will be the
lead corporate supporter of the Air Force Charity Ball -- an event
organized by the Air Force Aid Society, the official charity of the
United States Air Force.
EADS North America Chairman & CEO Ralph Crosby presented a
check to Air Force Aid Society CEO Lt. Gen. John D. Hopper, Jr.
(USAF, Ret.) to support the 2008 Charity Ball, scheduled for March
8 at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC. The Air Force
Charity Ball is an important fundraising event for the Air Force
Aid Society in support of its mission to assist US Airmen
worldwide.
"EADS North America is very proud to once again act as the lead
corporate sponsor for the Air Force Charity Ball," said Crosby.
"Our company understands the important role that the Air Force Aid
Society plays in supporting our Airman worldwide. We know that
every dollar contributed goes to meet the needs of the men and
women in uniform, along with their families, that are undergoing
the hardships of combat and extended separations."
Lt. Gen. Hopper thanked EADS North America for the
company’s generous gift, and noted that it has set an example
for other corporate donors.
This year's sponsorship of the USAF event carries added meaning
for EADS. As ANN has reported
extensively, a team comprised of EADS and Northrop
Grumman was awarded the Air Force's KC-X aerial refueling tanker
contract last Friday, over a competing bid from Boeing.
