LAS VEGAS. Dec. 10, 2013 - Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) today kicks off a unique and impactful social media campaign celebrating the painting of Allegiant's newly acquired Airbus A320 with a special Make-A-Wish® branded livery. A time-lapse video of the plane painting can be viewed at http://gofly.us/rBXwF. For every share of the video from the company's Facebook page, Allegiant has committed to donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $10,000.
The painting of the plane commemorates the company's ongoing collaboration with Make-A-Wish to provide flights for families traveling to their wish destinations. Since teaming up with Make-A-Wish in May of 2012, Allegiant has donated wish travel for more than 70 families traveling to their wish destinations and more than $110,000 in cash sponsorships for Make-A-Wish events across the country. With service from more than 100 communities to popular family vacation destinations such as Orlando, Southern California and Hawaii, Allegiant is looking forward to continuing to help grant travel wishes.
"Allegiant is honored to provide air travel for the inspiring families of Make-A-Wish," said Andrew C. Levy, Allegiant Travel Company President and Chief Operations Officer. "Our new plane showcases our pride in working with such an influential foundation and playing a role in the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses. Allegiant team members are passionate about making vacation possible for the more than 100 communities that we serve. Our ongoing relationship with Make-A-Wish embraces that initiative by making more vacations possible for the families of Make-A-Wish."
"Airline travel is a critical wish resource needed for nearly 75% of wishes," said David A. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Make-A-Wish America. "Allegiant's support for travel related wishes helps wish kids get to the destinations of their one-true-wish where life-changing experiences await."
To keep the giving going through the holidays, Allegiant will also host festive holiday donation events for local Make-A-Wish chapters at participating airports throughout their system during the month of December. For each toy or gift card that is donated, the contributor will receive one entry into a local raffle to win two roundtrip vouchers on Allegiant.
