Campaign Aims To Raise $1 Million for St. Jude

Acknowledging Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, two corporate aviators helped launch an effort to raise $1 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, inspired by the child of one of the pilots, Rob Switz. The effort has garnered support from the Atlantic Aviation FBO chain as well as FlightAware. Switz's daughter Libby, age nine, is now cancer-free after being diagnosed with brain cancer at 11 months old, thanks to her treatment at St. Jude.
