Donated auction items for the NBAA/Corporate Angel Network (CAN) Soirée, An Evening with Angels, are starting to flow in. Proceeds from the auction benefit CAN, which arranges flights to treatment centers for cancer patients aboard business aircraft. The Soirée, held annually during the NBAA Convention, will take place at 6 p.m. on October 22 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Fla.

As in years past, the auction will feature many highly prized items and priceless bidding opportunities for those attending the event. These include a six-day Honda Classic PGA Golf Tour package for four valued at $50,000 that was donated by Honda Aircraft. This package includes accommodations at the PGA National Resort, Wednesday foursome in the ProAm, VIP tournament passes and numerous other amenities and benefits.

One of the most sought-after items in business aviation today, the Gogo ATG 2000, is being donated to the Soirée auction by Gogo Business Aviation (née Aircell). Valued at $57,000 (uninstalled), the satcom system provides high-speed Internet and voice calls over the Gogo Biz network for up to five Wi-Fi connected devices.

Other parts to the Soiree Auction will include sports memorabilia, ski getaway packages, jet fuel, watches and aircraft models. “This is just the tip of the iceberg among the numerous items for those attending the soiree,” said CAN executive director Dick Koenig. The NBAA/CAN Soirée web page has more information on registering for the event and donating to it.
