DANBURY, CT, UNITED STATES, December 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jamail Larkins, a distinguished aviator and entrepreneur in the business aviation community, has been appointed as an Ambassador for Corporate Angel Network (CAN), the nation’s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free transportation on business aircraft for cancer patients. Through this partnership, Larkins aims to expand CAN’s life-changing impact by leveraging his platform and passion for aviation.

“As someone who has dedicated my life to aviation, I’ve always believed in its ability to bring people together and solve meaningful challenges,” said Larkins. “Corporate Angel Network is an extraordinary organization that uses business aviation to make a difference for cancer patients, and I’m honored to join their mission.”

Since 1981, Corporate Angel Network has arranged more than 69,000 cancer patient flights, utilizing empty seats on corporate aircraft. These flights enable patients to access treatment centers across the country, alleviating the financial and logistical burdens often associated with medical care.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jamail Larkins as our newest Ambassador,” said CAN President and CEO Robert Stangarone. “His dedication to business aviation and commitment to positively impacting the industry aligns perfectly with CAN's mission. We are confident that Jamail will help us reach new heights in our efforts to support cancer patients.”

In his role as an Ambassador, Larkins will help raise awareness about CAN’s mission, engage with potential donors, and inspire more corporate flight departments and aviation professionals to participate in the network.

“My goal as an ambassador is to shine a spotlight on the incredible work CAN is doing and to rally even more support from the aviation community,” Larkins added. “Together, we can help ensure that no cancer patient has to worry about how they’ll reach the care they need.”

Flight departments and other operators who utilize jet or turboprop aircraft flown with two pilots and are interested in participating can reach Corporate Angel Network directly by calling (914) 328-1313.
