Gill Aviation has initiated a week-long campaign to raise awareness and help fund blood cancer research by donating a portion of fuel sales to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

From February 3-7, Gill Aviation will donate 5 cents for every gallon of Jet A fuel sold. In addition, donations can be made on-line through a special LLS web page created by Kya Gill, a Houston, Texas high school student, in honor of her sister Paige who underwent treatment for Lymphoma. The goal is to raise $250,000 during the campaign period.

We are very proud of our daughter Kya and her efforts to help fund blood cancer research to fight Leukemia and Lymphoma, two of the most common forms of cancer in children, teens and young adults, said Jag Gill, President of Gill Aviation. We have selected to work with LLS because the research they do provides a gateway to curing these cancers through advanced treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and stem cell transplantation.
