AIR CANADA: Donate Your Miles To The Air Canada Foundation And Air Canada Will Match

On Thursday May 3rd, Air Canada's Aeroplan will host a charity drive where it will match any donation on miles made to the Air Canada Foundation (up to 500,000 total miles for the Charity Drive) so that children that need air transportation to obtain necessary medical treatment can fly for free on Air Canada.

This is a PERFECT opportunity for those of you who have a few miles sitting around in your Aeroplan account that will either expire or otherwise not be used to give the miles to the Air Canada Foundation so that someone who needs them, can use them!

For more information on the Air Canada Foundation, visit their website here.
