Orlando, FL – In support of Corporate Angel Network’s charitable work, Honeywell Aerospace has announced it will match all donations to the humanitarian organization that are received at Honeywell’s annual customer appreciation event this year during the National Business Aviation Association’s Annual Meeting and Convention.  The Honeywell event will be held at Orlando’s Hard Rock Café on October 20, 2009.

Honeywell has contributed more than 500 seats transporting CAN’s cancer patients to life-prolonging treatment on regular business flights over the past 26 years.

Rob Wilson, president of Honeywell Aerospace, said the event, which coincides with the annual NBAA convention, is themed, “You Rock”, to communicate Honeywell’s appreciation to its customers, as well as to the industry and the support it provides to Corporate Angel Network.

“Honeywell recognizes that with decreased business aviation hours, Corporate Angel Network (CAN), which flies cancer patients via corporate aircraft to treatment facilities, is in need of support.  Honeywell will match any voluntary CAN contributions made at the door.”  Wilson said.
