TPG and Make-A-Wish: Changing Lives One Wish at a Time
Travel has the power to change the world, and since 2017, TPG has been at the forefront of using travel to make a difference. With over $5,000,000 and 70,000,000 points and miles donated to charitable organizations, including Make-A-Wish, TPG is helping to grant life-changing wishes to deserving kids.
Make-A-Wish, a renowned organization that has been granting wishes to kids diagnosed with critical illnesses since 1980, has made over 500,000 wishes come true. And with about 80% of those wishes involving travel, the organization needs more than 2.8 billion miles annually to fulfill these dreams.
TPG’s partnership with Make-A-Wish has been instrumental in raising awareness, funds, and airline miles to give these kids a chance to experience joy and normalcy in the face of adversity. Through donation drives, campaigns, and live events, TPG has supported Make-A-Wish in various ways, including a recent $20,000 donation at the 2023 TPG Awards.
In a heartwarming collaboration with American Airlines, TPG and Make-A-Wish brought 26 families to Walt Disney World on the “Best Flight Ever.” This magical experience, complete with a red carpet entrance, snacks, sing-a-longs, and a water cannon salute, kicked off a week of fun at Give Kids the World Village and Orlando’s theme parks.
By donating hotel points, airline miles, making monetary contributions, or using Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can help Make-A-Wish continue to fulfill travel wishes for children in need. Your donations can provide hope, joy, and lasting memories for these brave kids and their families.
TPG’s partnership with Make-A-Wish exemplifies how travel can truly change lives and bring happiness to those facing difficult circumstances. Together, we can make a difference and create smiles that last a lifetime.
