Description
Corporate Angel Network is the only charitable organization whose sole mission is to transport cancer patients to the hospital at which they need to be in order to receive a specialized form of treatment. Simply put, we pair empty seats - on both private and corporate planes - with qualified patients who need the rides... at no cost. This not only improves the patients' chances of survival but at the same time, it reduces their emotional stress, physical discomfort, and financial burden.
What's Here
Providing organization
Corporate Angel Network Inc
In 1981, three people shared the dream of using empty seats on corporate aircraft to transport cancer patients to treatment centers nationwide. Leonard M. Greene, founder and president of Safe Flight Instrument Corporation, Priscilla H. Blum, a licensed commercial pilot, and Jay N. Weinberg, then owner of a Mt. Vernon, NY Avis Car Rental franchise together developed the idea of asking corporations to accept these patients as guest passengers.
