Donation Goes To Susan G. Komen for the Cure
We love stories where aviation business looks like the good
neighbor it is... and this is one of them. Omniflight Helicopters
is donating nearly $15,000 to the Phoenix Affiliate of Susan G.
Komen for the Cure, raised from its Flight for the Cure
program.
In December 2008, Omniflight announced the launch of its Flight
for the Cure fundraising program to benefit Susan G. Komen for the
Cure. Under the program, Omniflight and its Mesa, Ariz.-based
Native Air division, stated it would donate $10 for each air
medical transport completed throughout Arizona during the months of
December 2008, January 2009 and February 2009 to the Phoenix
Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The check presentation will take place on Friday, May 8, 2009 at
Native Air’s Maintenance Facility at the Williams Gateway
Airport in Mesa, Ariz. Omniflight management will present the check
to Susan G. Komen for the Cure representatives from the Phoenix
affiliate. During the three-month program, all Native Air aircraft
representing its 13 bases, donned pink breast cancer decals.
Several of these aircraft with the decals will be at the check
presentation event, some of which will perform fly-overs. In
addition, a local pink ground ambulance will be on hand to show
support for this important cause.
“Our new partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure is
an important one for Omniflight and its employees. Almost everyone
in this country – and in our company -- has been affected in
some way by breast cancer. This program allows our organization to
recognize the importance of finding a cure as we show support for
the unrelenting efforts put forth by Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
We are pleased to align with them and look forward to continuing to
help make a difference for this important cause,” explained
Robert A. Peiser, chairman and chief executive officer at
Omniflight.
Addison, Texas-based Omniflight Helicopters, Inc. is a leading
provider of air medical services throughout the U.S.
