Southwest Airlines generously donated $1,000,000 worth of travel to Make-A-Wish^® in 2012, significantly increasing their previous support in 2011. Travel wishes are the number one requested wish at Make-A-Wish and it would take 2.5 billion miles to grant every wish received. Thanks to Southwest Airlines’ support, we are much closer to achieving our vision of making every eligible child’s wish come true.
