Denver Airline Donates 500,000 Miles to the Denver Red Cross to Kick-Off Mileage Drive DENVER, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In an on-going effort to support the victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Frontier has established a simple way for its EarlyReturns frequent flyers to donate their miles to the American Red Cross. The miles can then be used to transport not only the support staff and team members of the Red Cross, but also victims of Katrina and their family members in need. In a show of support for the efforts of the Red Cross, Frontier donated an initial 500,000 miles to seed the program with miles that can be used immediately. Frontier frequent flyers can add to that initial donation by simply sending an email to , indicating their name, frequent flyer number and the amount of miles they would like to donate. Like many concerned citizens around the country, Frontier and its employees immediately began seeking ways to assist in the Gulf Coast relief efforts. In addition to the mileage program, Frontier's efforts to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina includes: * Frontier and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are coordinating in an effort to send relief flights to the Gulf Coast to transport victims from the disaster area to shelters in Texas and other areas. Frontier is providing the aircraft and fuel while its pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and ground crew are donating their time to assist in this effort. * Frontier donated 20 round trip tickets for a Rocky Mountain PBS donation drive that is taking place Friday, September 2 at 7:30 PM. The tickets will be used as incentives to generate large dollar donations for the drive. * Frontier is coordinating with Volunteers of America in Denver to transport people from Houston to Denver. Volunteers of America has the housing ready as well as furniture and food. * Frontier's employee hardship assistance program, The HOPE League, is currently collecting funds to assist hurricane victims. * Frontier is encouraging all employees to donate to one of two organizations that clearly need financial support-American Red Cross and Volunteers of America.
