Alaska Airlines Inflight Base Challenge for G1ve A Buck with Robinson Cano - San Diego Base

WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

The Alaska Airlines Inflight Department is hitting away at childhood cancer by rooting on and supporting Robinson Cano. Alaska Airlines Inflight employees have the opportunity to support G1ve a Buck’s important mission of finding a cure for childhood cancers by fundraising and pledging for every hit that Robinson Cano has from May through July. We're estimating 90 hits.

HIT AWAY AT CHILDHOOD CANCER WITH ROBINSON CANO

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR BASE MANAGER

Hello SAN!

We have a GREAT opportunity to give back by helping little kiddos who need a fighting chance against cancer.

September 1, 2017 will be the 2nd annual MLB Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. There will be a pregame event at the Mariners game that day and we are hoping to present a large check for research. All funds raised through this campaign will go to immunotherapy trials that are happening through Seattle Children’s Hospital and their “Strong Against Cancer” program.

For the next 3 months, ALL of our bases will be participating in a fun and friendly competition via the Pledge It, Inflight Base Challenge to see which base can raise the most money to help raise awareness and support for childhood cancer. We are asking for your support by pledging for each ball that Robinson Cano of the Seattle Mariners hits in the months of May, June and July. Anything you can pledge will be appreciated and added to our collective efforts as a team.

As an added bonus, we will be giving away a trip for 2 (airfare, hotel for one night and tickets to the pregame event and game at Safeco Field on September 1, 2017) to the flight attendant who raises the most funds.*

Looking forward to seeing what SAN can do in supporting this great cause!!

Shari Ross Manager, SAN Inflight Base Operations

*While it is an experience for 2 at the game, only the employee will fly confirmed business travel to the event and back. If you choose to bring a guest, the guest will have to fly as a guest pass on your benefits.

ABOUT G1VE A BUCK

G1ve A Buck Fund is dedicated to making each child’s cancer journey shorter and less painful, reducing the negative treatment side effects and ultimately funding the research to find Kid Size Cures for childhood cancer.

Did you know that childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease? More children die of childhood cancer than all other diseases put together. It is a fact that each and every day 43 kids are diagnosed and 6 children will lose their lives to childhood cancer. Lack of funding is a huge issue. Since 1980, only three drugs have been approved that were specifically developed for children and two-thirds of those treated suffer long-term effects, including loss of hearing and sight, heart disease, secondary cancers, learning disabilities and infertility. While only 3.8% of the National Cancer Institute’s research budget is dedicated to childhood cancer research, 100% of proceeds raised through G1ve A Buck will be donated to raise public awareness and fund much-needed research. For this campaign, G1ve A Buck is partnering with Strong Against Cancer and all proceeds will go to fund the promising immunotherapy research currently taking place at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

G1ve a Buck is looking for everyday superheroes ready to take on childhood cancer by raising awareness about childhood cancer and funding its research. Please help us be a voice for our kids that don’t have one to fight for themselves.
