GULFSTREAM CELEBRATES 25-YEARS OF SUPPORT FOR CORPORATE ANGEL NETWORK
New Logo Commemorating Anniversary Unveiled During Ceremony
SAVANNAH , Ga. , Feb. 27, 2007 – Gulfstream President Bryan Moss, Corporate Angel Network Chairman Randall Greene and Executive Director Peter Fleiss yesterday celebrated 25 years during which the business-jet manufacturer has supported Corporate Angel Network (CAN). Together, they unveiled a newly designed logo affixed to a Gulfstream G150 business jet during a ceremony at the Gulfstream Aerospace headquarters in Savannah. The new logo commemorates Gulfstream’s long-term support of Corporate Angel Network, a non-profit organization that arranges free travel on corporate jets for cancer patients seeking treatment.
“We are grateful for the 25 years Gulfstream has supported our mission,” Greene said. “By encouraging more than 1,000 of their customers to consider becoming a Corporate Angel, Gulfstream has provided an invaluable conduit between our organization and Gulfstream corporate jet owners.”
From now through the end of this year, the commemorative logo will be displayed on the exterior of Gulfstream’s demonstrator aircraft and projected on the screens of their in-cabin entertainment systems. Gulfstream demonstrator aircraft are used for customer flights to better acquaint the customer with the aircraft model and its performance capabilities.
“By participating in Corporate Angel Network, companies have the opportunity to help their local communities with minimum impact to their operations,” Moss said. “CAN does most of the work and because patients are matched to flights that are already scheduled, there are no additional costs.”
CAN arranges flight travel for patients by contacting participating companies that operate corporate aircraft. Today, more than 530 corporations participate in the program, including Gulfstream’s parent company General Dynamics (NYSE: GD). Founded in 1981, CAN currently transports more than 200 cancer patients a month and has provided more than 25,000 cancer patient flights.
