ANCHORAGE, AK – May 27, 1999 – Alyeska Pipeline presented at check for $1 million to the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) Foundation today.  The $1 million is the fourth installment in a $7 million commitment by Alyeska and the owners of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System.  This installment brings the total amount donated by Alyeska to $5 million. 

“Alyeska is proud of its partnership with AFN.  Both organizations will benefit from work of the Foundation and we’re proud to support the effort,” said Bob Malone, President and CEO of Alyeska Pipeline.
