Angel Flight West’s 12th Annual Endeavor Awards event raised more than $1 million for the first time in the fundraiser’s history, the organization announced.
The Los Angeles-based nonprofit coordinates free, non-emergency air travel for patients with serious medical conditions who need access to healthcare far from home. Funds raised through sponsorships, auction proceeds, and hosted tables directly support the organization’s network of volunteer pilots, drivers, and commercial airline partners serving the Western U.S.
“In today’s economic climate, this level of generosity is truly remarkable,” said Mary Hunter, executive director of Angel Flight West.
The annual fundraiser recognized several honorees: Will Cutter and Cutter Aviation, the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, volunteer pilot Chris Bennett, and Jerry Hill, a volunteer pilot with Challenge Air for Kids &amp; Friends. Several sponsored tables raised more than $50,000 during the event. Major sponsors included Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, AOPA, UCLA Health, Cutter Aviation, and the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
The 13th Annual Endeavor Awards is scheduled for May 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.

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