Corporate Angel Network To Make 50,000th Flight
Corporate Angel Network will complete its 50,000th flight from New York-area Teterboro Airport to Atlanta.

Tonight, Corporate Angel Network (CAN) will complete its 50,000th flight by transporting one-year-old cancer patient Baron Yerby and his parents from New York-area Teterboro Airport to Atlanta. Yerby, who was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer at three months old, had been receiving treatment at New York City’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. The flight is being provided by Atlanta-base Fortune 500 company NCR.

U.S.-based CAN matches patients who need to travel for treatment with companies willing to provide complimentary transportation in their aircraft. Generally, this happens when the aircraft is already being used for a trip to or from the city where the treatment is available. More than 500 corporations participate in the program.
