The Wishes in Flight campaign raised 1,541,808 miles to help support travel for kids' wishes. Paul Kroeger, Make-A-Wish South Dakota President & CEO, says those miles will account for at least 38 plane tickets and save the organization more than $20,000.
Last year was the first year for Wishes in Flight. More than 2.3 million miles were donated, saving Make-A-Wish South Dakota more than $30,000 in airfare.
This year's goal was 2.5 million miles—and there is still time to donate. Call 800.640.9198 or click here to donate you frequent flyer miles online.
