Follow on Google News | Mori Luggage & Gifts Launches Wishes in Flight™ Campaign to Benefit Make-A-Wish®Twenty-nine stores across six states to collect airline miles to help children with life-threatening illnesses
Mori will be working with nine Make-A-Wish chapters across these six states to reach their goal of raising 5 million miles for wishes across the United States. Participating airline carriers include: Delta, United/Continental, and US Airways. With 74% of all wishes granted requiring air travel, Make-A-Wish would need more than 2.5 billion miles, or 50,000 round-trip tickets, to cover every travel wish each year. One hundred percent of the donated miles will be used for wish granting, allowing every traveler to become a part of a child’s life-affirming wish. Participants can donate airline miles by visiting any participating Mori Luggage & Gifts retail store or by using this specialized link: tinyurl.com/ “We are honored to be the first retailer to partner with Make-A-Wish to promote the Wishes in Flight program,” said John Mori, president of Mori Luggage & Gifts. “Many of our customers are frequent travelers, and we believe they will be very supportive of this effort to help families in need.” To learn more about launching a corporate airline miles campaign, contact Stephanie Leeper at sleeper@nc.wish.org. If you don’t have miles to donate, but would like to support Make-A-Wish, you may make a monetary donation by visiting nc.wish.org.
