Appreciation Plaques Will Be Placed At 10 FBOs
Corporate Angel Network, the
national public charity that arranges free flights to treatment for
cancer patients by using empty seats on business aircraft, was
presented a $25,000 check in a ceremony held during The Wings
Club's annual dinner dance at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The award recognizes Corporate Angel's service to cancer
patients. The charity has arranged more than 32,000 free flights to
treatment aboard business and fractional aircraft.
Dave Barger, president of The Wings Club, said the donation
recognizes the superb job Corporate Angel does in softening the
cares and pressures of cancer patients. "Corporate Angel Network
has carried patients to treatment centers from most of the 50
states. They are sensitive to the particular medical needs of
these travelers and offer an efficient, reliable service.
This can ease the hardship, and often even the worries, of those
who are battling cancer," Barger said.
The check was received by Corporate Angel Board Member Wilson
Leach. "When cancer is diagnosed, a family's life can be changed
forever," Leach said. In addition to his work with the
charity, Leach is also the Managing Director/Founding Publisher of
AVIATION INTERNATIONAL NEWS and Business Jet Traveler.

"Treatment options and financial arrangements must be made," he
said. "Many of those decisions center on acquiring the best
possible treatment available and the most efficient ways of getting
to it. That's where we provide our best
contribution."
In recognition of The Wings Club's longtime support of Corporate
Angel Network efforts, the organization will arrange to have "Wings
Club Appreciation Plaques" placed at the 10 FBOs that see the most
Corporate Angel patients departing to, or returning from cancer
treatment.
