Throughout Southwest Airlines’ 50th Anniversary year, we’ve engaged our Customers, Employees, and partners to join us in completing a collective one million Acts of Kindness. There was no shortage of Heart in our challenge – everyone truly stepped up to the plate! So many of you supported your communities in impactful ways including volunteering with a nonprofit near to your heart, helping a neighbor with yard work, or donating clothes to a local shelter. Thank you for helping Southwest inspire kindness. It’s because of YOU we completed our goal of one million acts months ahead of schedule!
Our plan to inspire kindness didn’t stop with our millionth act! To keep the celebration going, last month we launched our One Million Dollars of Thanks contest. Nonprofit organizations shared how they would use 100 one-way, domestic e-passes to spread kindness throughout their communities.
We had more than 2,500 submissions, which were judged by more than 160 Southwest Employees. We’re thrilled to share the 52 recipients and highlight the impactful work they do. The recipients will all receive 100 domestic one-way Southwest travel awards; bringing the total donated travel amount to more than one million dollars. The missions of the 52 organizations selected champion groups including children, military members, students, and families in need. Using the donated travel, these organizations will be able to spread kindness in communities Southwest serves, ranging from Hawaii to Dallas to New Jersey!
At Southwest, we are dedicated to championing communities to lead with Heart and kindness. Whether delivering a meal to a neighbor, cleaning up a park, sending a note of encouragement, or simply a pat on the back, we believe community is more than a place; it’s at the heart of what brings it together.
