FlightSafety International CEO To Chair 21st Annual GWAO

Bruce Whitman Named Honorary Chairman For Event

Bruce Whitman, President & CEO of FlightSafety International, has been named the Honorary Chairman for the 21st Annual Greater Washington Aviation Open (GWAO) to be held May 4 at the Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, VA.

GWAO raises funds for the Corporate Angel Network (CAN) through sponsorships, tournaments fees, and a live auction that includes airline tickets to destinations in the US and around the world. CAN tracks the unused seats on corporate business jets and makes them available to cancer patients to fly to and from treatments at no cost.

"It is my honor and privilege to chair the GWAO this year," said Whitman. "This tournament is an opportunity for us to support and express our gratitude to Corporate Angel Network. Together, we can help CAN provide cancer patients and their families with much needed and greatly appreciated flights."

"Last year's event set another record," added GWAO Chairman Paul Bollinger, "raising $140,000 for CAN. Each year, the tournament raises some 20% of CAN’s annual operating costs."

Approximately 250 golfers and tennis players traditionally gather on the first Monday in May at the Lansdowne Golf Resort, just outside Washington, DC for the full day event, luncheon, reception and auction.
