“JetBlue For Good Month is not only a time to focus on giving
back, it serves as a reminder of what JetBlue with our 21,000
crewmembers does all year round,” said Icema Gibbs, vice president,
corporate social responsibility and diversity, equity and
inclusion, JetBlue. “Since our beginning, JetBlue has been
committed to giving back to the communities where we work and
serve. With the pandemic disrupting so much over the last 21 months
and so much on pause, we’re grateful these worthy organizations
have been able to persevere in the face of adversity. We’re proud
that JetBlue’s crewmembers and customers are a part of the
effort.”
Need some inspiration on charities to donate points to? Here
are a few of JetBlue’s partner organizations:
Make-A-Wish® – JetBlue has been a longtime partner of
Make-A-Wish®, providing travel in order to fulfill life-changing
wishes for children battling critical illnesses. JetBlue
crewmembers from across the airline’s network have been able to
participate in seeing off and welcoming these children and their
families, feeling the reward of being a part of these milestone
moments. A wish brings hope to wish kids and their families and can
be an important part of the healing process, helping kids deal with
and even overcome their illness.
Miles4Migrants – JetBlue recently began partnering with
Miles4Migrants to provide 35 million miles to fund over 2,000
airline tickets. Founded in 2016, Miles4Migrants uses donated
frequent flyer miles, credit card points, vouchers and cash to help
people impacted by war, persecution, or disaster reunite with loved
ones and start new beginnings in safe homes. Since its inception,
Miles4Migrants has flown more than 10,000 people from 78 countries
of origin. Miles4Migrants has already flown over 6,700 Afghans —
including many who assisted the U.S. military — more than any other
country of origin.
The DREAM Project – JetBlue has partnered with The Dominican
Republic Education and Mentoring (DREAM) Project in the Dominican
Republic since 2008. The DREAM Project seeks to ensure that all
children and youth have equal opportunities to learn and develop
their full potential through transformative education programs that
combat the effects of poverty. Over the past 13 years, JetBlue and
DREAM have collaborated on infrastructure repairs, painting,
educational material donations, book donations, computer donations,
and educational workshops. The last two years, the partnership has
focused on literacy, through “My Very Own Library” book fairs held
in community-based schools with a different theme for each
fair.
