United Partnering with Sesame Street to Help Children in Need
29.08.2023 - 22:37 / travelpulse.com / United Airlines / TravelPulse Staff
United Airlines and Sesame Workshop are partnering for National Preparedness Month to support children in need.
During September, the airline will highlight Welcome Sesame on its Miles on a Mission platform, a crowd-sourcing program that makes easy for its loyalty program members to donate miles to national and local nonprofits.
Donated miles will help Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, travel around the world to deliver early learning and nurturing care to children and caregivers impacted by conflict and crisis—including children and families in Ukraine, the Middle East, South Asia, Latin America, and East Africa.
United will match the first million miles raised by Sesame Workshop before the end of the year.
“We’re rallying our most loyal customers to join us in supporting the incredible work that only Sesame Workshop can do—for children around the world who need it the most,” said Josh Earnest, SVP and Chief Communications Officer. “In times of crisis, our United team routinely mobilizes our jets to help transport relief supplies where they are needed and get people out of harm's way. Extending our partnership with Sesame Workshop allows MileagePlus members to donate miles and maximize the impact of these critical relief efforts.”
United’s Miles on a Mission program is now more accessible to charities, lowering the total amount of miles from 200,000 to 100,000 to receive their award and extending the amount of time a nonprofit can mile-raise from 30 days to 90 days. This gives participating groups more opportunities to promote their cause and reach their goal.
The updated program also makes it easier for MileagePlus Members to get involved with more opportunities to use their miles for good.
Members will receive more updates throughout the year, including community-focused stories, donation celebrations, donor highlights and the chance to get involved during United's annual Miles on a Mission Week of Giving.
Visit united.com/donate today to get involved and become a MileagePlus Member for free.

VisitorsCoverage Partners with One Tree Planted
As The Philippines faces a deforestation crisis so severe it could be deforested by 2025, VisitorsCoverage, a global travel insurance marketplace, is compelled to aid reforestation efforts. The new initiative is an extension of their partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization that partners with businesses to plant trees all over the world. Climate change is caused in major part by an overabundance of Carbon Dioxide. Trees are the single best way to reduce CO2 because they breathe it in and convert it to oxygen. Without trees, the Philippines will see a rise in deadly heat waves, floods and mudslides. The disappearance of trees has also been linked to soil erosion and contaminated water.
