NetJets Fractional Owner Donates 75 Hours of
Free Flight Time To Corporate Angel Network
- Valued at $270,000 -

White Plains, NY March 25, 2003-Corporate Angel Network, the national public charity that arranges free flights to treatment for cancer patients by using the empty seats on corporate aircraft, announced today the receipt of 75 hours of free flight time from a NetJets fractional aircraft owner from Greenwich CT.
Charlie Lynch, a vice president of NetJets and also a Greenwich resident, said the donation valued at more than $270,000, was made anonymously.
"Corporate Angel Network's program is a truly special gift." Lynch said "Our NetJets owner is happy to participate, realizing that donating flight hours is a tremendous opportunity to help cancer patients win their battle".
"We're excited and thankful for this wonderful and generous donation." said Bonnie LeVar, Executive Director of Corporate Angel Network. "It is a meaningful contribution in our effort to help cancer patients. We're hopeful that other NetJets fractional owners will see the benefit of contributing flight time or, as company executives do, use an empty seat on their flights to give a cancer patient a lift."
Corporate Angel Network, founded in 1981 and based in White Plains, NY, has arranged more than 16,000 flights and attracted 500 of America's finest corporations to its network.
