Last week, Southwest showcased our Mile High Heart for the Denver metro area surrounding counties with its Destination: Vaccination activation, from  May 16, 2021, through May 20, 2021, at Dicks Sporting Goods Park, home of the Colorado Rapids. With dozens of Employee volunteers, Southwest partnered with the State of Colorado, in its collaboration with Centura Health, to contribute to an effort focused on getting Coloradans vaccinated—allowing them to get back to the things they love. In attendance to support this initiative was Governor Jared Polis, as well as Peter D. Banko, Centura Health CEO; and Shauna Gulley, MD, Centura Chief Clinical Officer.

Southwest proudly supports the vaccination efforts taking place around the country. We are excited to have played a small part in showing our Mile High Heart for the city of Denver and its surrounding communities. We look forward to celebrating those special moments with the people we love at the places that matter most in their lives.

 

Celebrating Moments with Southwest Getaway Tunnel

In true Southwest Spirit, we turned the moments that followed the vaccinations into a celebration, through its 45 ft. (length) by 34 ft. (width) Southwest Getaway Tunnel; a drive-thru experience, which featured music and destination centric videos on large LED screens, creating excitement for reuniting people with the places they’ve missed.
