Thanks
to the incredible generosity of our airline partners and their members, the Make-A-Wish
Foundation® nationally was able to grant thousands of travel wishes last year.
Frequent fliers donated hundreds of millions of miles to fulfill travel wishes.
We estimate that more than one billion frequent flier miles will be needed to
grant each child's travel wish this year. By donating your miles you can help
make wishes come true.
Please
note:
for miles to benefit children in Utah specifically, please print, fill out, sign
this form, and mail it to us as indicated at the top of the sheet.
If you have
any questions about this program, please contact giving@makeawishutah.org
or call our development office at (801) 262-WISH (9474). Additional information
may be available on the Make-A-Wish
Foundation of America web site.

Deductibility
The IRS recognizes frequent traveler points as a
gift or as an award from the corporation to the individual; therefore, miles donated
to charity are not considered tax-deductible.
