Corporate Angel Network Receives $20,000 From
ChevronTexaco Global Aviation and B/CA
"Corporate Angel Award" Program

White Plains, NY: - Corporate Angel Network (CAN), a national public charity that serves cancer patients by arranging free transportation to treatment using empty seats on routine corporate business flights, announced today that it has received $20,000 generated by the 2003 Corporate Angel Award program co-sponsored by ChevronTexaco Global Aviation and Business & Commercial Aviation (B/CA) magazine. B/CA's publisher Gil Wolin, and ChevronTexaco Global Aviation's Dale Anderson, General Manager of General Aviation, and Keith Sawyer, Manager- Brand and Business Development, presented the check to Peter Fleiss of CAN in a ceremony held at CAN's Westchester County Airport headquarters in White Plains, NY.

ChevronTexaco Global Aviation and Business & Commercial Aviation magazine co-sponsor the Corporate Angel Award, a quarterly tribute to corporations and their flight departments that have demonstrated outstanding dedication as participants in Corporate Angel Network. ChevronTexaco recognizes the award recipient with a full-page ad in Business & Commercial Aviation magazine and $2,500 worth of aviation fuel. Business & Commercial Aviation magazine generously donates the proceeds from the ads to Corporate Angel Network.

"Corporations, pilots, and executives who open their aircraft to cancer patients in need of critical treatment deserve recognition," noted Wolin. "With this award, ChevronTexaco and Business and Commercial Aviation magazine are boosting public awareness, providing companies with a positive example, and contributing generously to Corporate Angel Network."

The most recent Corporate Angel Award was presented to Limited Brands in April of this year. Previous recipients include Corning, Ford, Verizon, American Home Products, International Paper, Schering-Plough and Dow Chemical.
