The Corporate Angel Network (CAN) will once again be the beneficiary of NBAA’s charity benefit dinner/dance, set for tomorrow in the Grand Ballroom of the Bellagio Hotel from 6 to 11 p.m. The organization arranges free flights to treatment for cancer patients in available seats on corporate aircraft. The event will feature dinner, live and silent auctions and a concert by the Beach Boys. Tickets (obtainable through NBAA ’11 registration) cost $100 for entertainment only and $295 for the reception, dinner, entertainment and auctions. Tables are also available.
“The support of business aviation is key in our ability to help so many patients receive the best possible treatment for their specific type of cancer,” said CAN executive director Peter Fleiss, who noted that the NBAA benefit raised $220,000 last year. “NBAA has been a strong and long-time supporter of our efforts and the NBAA/CAN Charity Benefit is the newest example. Not only are the funds raised extremely helpful but the resulting flight-department exposure generates new corporate participants, added lift capacity and more patients flown.”
