Greetings All:

Just got an e-mail as I am sure most of you have with respect to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Text is set forth below. Long and short of it as before 5 AAdvantage miles for every dollar donated and if purchasing an AA Gift card, 10% of the purchase can go the foundation. Here is e-mail text:

Breast cancer awareness month is upon us, and we're reminded that every 68 seconds, someone in the world dies of breast cancer. American is proud to support Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ — the largest private funding source of research solely dedicated to breast cancer.

Introduced earlier this month, you can now give the gift of travel and join the fight against breast cancer. When you purchase our Komen American Airlines Gift Card, American will give $5 for every $50 of travel you purchase to Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ.

Or, you can join our quest to save lives and end breast cancer forever by simply making a donation. American's Miles for the CureŽ fundraising campaign is under way, and if you'd like to join us in this great cause, you can earn five AAdvantageŽ miles for every $1 donated. Go to Miles for the CureTM program to donate and learn more about how you can help.

In 2008, thanks to contributions from nearly 11,000 AAdvantage members, Miles for the CureTM came close to raising $1 million. American has supported Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ for more than 25 years and is a National Race for the Cure sponsor, first-ever Lifetime Promise Partner and the official airline of Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ. For more information on our joint partnership, visit AA.com/komen.


Gift Card requirements:
Purchase online by 12/31/09 for the 10% donation to be made to Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ, this applies to online purchases only
Enter "Komen" as the tracking code for donation to be made
For a full list of terms and conditions for the American Airlines Gift card, refer to AA.com/giftcard


Mods, if this needs to be merged, should go elsewhere, or likewise please feel free to move. I just did a quick search, and this seemed the most appropriate place.

Safe Travels
