The partnership between American Airlines and St. Jude began in 2006 and has grown significantly over the years. Initially launched as an exclusive awareness partner for the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign, American Airlines has since expanded its support to include enterprise sponsorships and innovative fundraising initiatives.

Not only does American Airlines play a key role in promoting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude by airing public service announcements on in-flight entertainment systems during the St. Jude Thanks and Giving season, their employees also actively participate through payroll giving and matching gifts, demonstrating a strong internal culture of philanthropy.

Additionally, American Airlines serves as the Official Travel Sponsor for major events like the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series and the St. Jude Memphis Marathon® Weekend — the largest single-day St. Jude fundraising event. Through these multifaceted efforts, American Airlines continues to be a vital partner in advancing the St. Jude mission to continue to lead the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

In addition, American Airlines offers qualifying AAdvantage® members an option to give to St. Jude as part of their Loyalty Points Rewards program.

Through its support, American Airlines is helping to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
