GEORGIA – Augusta Aviation, Inc. has recently joined Georgia’s Workplace Partnership for Life.  As part of the Workplace Partnership for Life, Augusta Aviation, Inc. has made a commitment to communicate information about donating life to their employees.  Nationally, more than 1,000 Workplace partners have joined the effort to create awareness about organ, tissue, marrow and blood donation and to educate their employees about the urgent need for donors.
