Corporate Angel Network (CAN) will conduct its annual “Fund an Angel” fundraising event during the 2025 NBAA Business Aviation Convention &amp; Exhibition, targeting financial support for its cancer patient transportation mission.
Scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15, the fundraiser will take place at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on the Waterbleau Terrace. The event will feature networking opportunities, refreshments, and a silent auction.
CAN facilitates free business aircraft flights for cancer patients requiring medical treatment by matching them with available seats on corporate jets. The organization transported more than 1,700 cancer patients in 2024, contributing to its total of more than 69,000 flights arranged since its 1981 founding.&nbsp;In 2024, the fundraiser generated nearly $500,000 through sponsorships, individual contributions, and auction proceeds. Now, the organization seeks donations for this year’s silent auction.
“Fund an Angel plays a vital role in allowing us to do what we do best—connect cancer patients with the treatment they need, when they need it most,” said Robert Stangarone, president and CEO of CAN. “NBAA’s continued support, and the generosity of the business aviation community, make each mission possible.”
“Business aviation is an industry committed to giving back and supporting those in need,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “The Fund an Angel event, together with Corporate Angel Network’s long-standing mission of arranging free humanitarian flights for cancer patients, exemplifies these values in action.”

Issues regarding financing of aircraft; aviation insurance; tax issues for aircraft operators; new companies and people in the aviation financing and insurance industries.
