The Corporate Angel Network (CAN), a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to providing free flights on corporate aircraft for cancer patients and their families in the United States. This initiative allows patients to access top treatment centers by securing seats on corporate jets for various medical needs such as surgeries, clinical trials, and second opinions. The service is available to all cancer patients, including bone marrow and stem cell donors and recipients.
Roger A. Enrico, former Chairman and CEO of Pepsico and a major supporter of CAN, highlighted the importance of this mission: "The Corporate Angel Network makes it very easy to support a vital humanitarian mission. I encourage any company to consider joining this very worthwhile effort."
Eligibility for CAN's services is not based on financial need; any cancer patient receiving treatment in the U.S. can travel as often as necessary once enrolled in the program. CAN aims to alleviate the physical, emotional, and financial stress associated with cancer treatment by offering benefits such as access to specialized treatments not available locally, participation in unique clinical trials, reduced exposure to germs compared to commercial flights, decreased travel costs, no financial qualification requirements, and allowing caregivers or family members to accompany patients.
