However, with the number of wishes constantly rising more than 8,100 in the United States last year alone the need for frequent flier miles is greater than ever. The answer is as clear as the smiles on the faces of wish children like Shad. Calif. When presented the opport-unity to select one wish, Shad let his imagination run wild. Thanks to the generous support the Foundation receives from its airline partners and their generous customers, Shad s wish, and thousands of others, have been fulfilled. The mileage the Foundation receives is redeemed for tickets used solely for the purpose of sending children and their families on an unforgettable vacation they will cherish for a lifetime.
Most major airlines have mileage donation programs.
