2026 Summer of Wishes Airline Miles Drive
Wishes are priceless, but travel costs are rising.
Did you know that airline tickets are our single biggest expense when it comes to granting life-changing wishes? As airfare continues to increase, the need for donated miles is more critical than ever.
Summer is also when our demand for travel wishes is at its peak, but it can also be when we see support for our mission slow down the most.
That’s where you come in. From now until August 31, join our chapter’s Summer of Wishes Airline Miles Drive, help us hit our goal of two million miles, and ensure that no child has to wait longer than necessary for a life-changing travel wish.
Now’s the moment to act: your miles can go even further.
Thanks to our generous match donors, the first 250,000 miles donated during this campaign will be matched—helping more wish kids take flight, faster.
How to be a part of our campaign:
- Fill out our online pledge form so your miles will count toward our goal.
- Donate or pledge your miles by following one of the links below.
Pledged miles from the following airlines will count toward the campaign and the match: Alaska, American, Delta, jetBlue, Southwest, and United.
