Helping others has a long tradition in aviation and continues today with the Corporate Angel Network, Angel Flight, NBAA Build and the Chairman’s Charity Classic Golf Tournament, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and many others. Here at the convention, Universal Weather and Aviation (Booth No. 219) is talking about two charitable opportunities it is supporting.

The first has a decidedly aviation bent. Pilots CarolAnn Garratt and Carol Foy plan to make an around-the-world record flight in Garratt’s Mooney this December. The trip will raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or more commonly, Lou Gehrig’s disease), a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease that afflicts more than 350,000 people worldwide and has no cure.
