Will Contribute A Portion Of Fees From New Clients
Solairus Aviation announced
Wednesday it is launching a program to help fund Corporate
Angel Network’s (CAN) continued efforts to provide cancer
patients with free flights for treatment aboard corporate
aircraft.
Solairus will support CAN with a cash contribution equal to 1%
of the first year’s management fees for each new aircraft
management client it signs up in 2010. “CAN needs more
lift capacity to help additional patients, but it also needs
financial support. Solairus wants to help with both,” said
Dan Drohan, Solairus’ CEO. “Just as business jets run
on Jet A, CAN’s Operations Center runs on cash.”
“Cancer is a fact of life, one that touches us all,”
stated Peter Fleiss, CAN’s Executive Director. “Our
mission is to help cancer patients receive the best possible
treatment by using empty seats on corporate jets to transport
patients to treatment centers around the country. Solairus’
2010 Challenge will help us meet our funding needs, and enable us
to fly more patients for treatment.”
“We recognize the need for companies to do more,
particularly in this economy. Non-profits are suffering,”
Drohan said. “The work that CAN does is near and dear to us
at Solairus and we want to support their incredible efforts. We
challenge our industry peers to do the same, on behalf of cancer
patients throughout the US.”
