IBM Donates Computers to Corporate Angel Network

 

White Plains, NY—May 16, 2006—IBM Corporation has generously donated a new server, along with desktop computers, and flat panel monitors to Corporate Angel Network (CAN), the non-profit that arranges free flights for cancer patients in the empty seats of routine business flights.
“The IT infrastructure improvements resulting from this generous donation will increase the speed and efficiency of our ability to help cancer patients,” said CAN’s Chairman Randall Greene. “We are extremely grateful that IBM has chosen to support us in this way.”
“IBM is pleased to be able to support Corporate Angel Network and the wonderful work the organization does to help cancer patients win their battle,” said Paula Baker, IBM’s Vice President, Global Community Initiatives.
Corporate Angel Network arranges free flights for cancer patients using the empty seats on routine business flights. Since its founding 25 years ago, CAN has grown to include 530 participating corporations, five paid staff, and a team of 50 part-time volunteers who work with patients, physicians, corporate flight departments, and leading treatment centers to coordinate medical travel needs of cancer patients with the scheduled flight activity of participating corporations. To date, CAN has arranged nearly 25,000 flights and currently provides about 200 patient flights a month. CAN has received numerous awards in recognition of its service to cancer patients, including The Volunteer Action Award, the highest volunteer award from the President of the United States.
