Here at TPG, we believe travel has the power to change the world<\/a>. Since 2017, we have raised and donated more than $5,000,000 and 70,000,000 points and miles to charitable organizations, including one that is changing the world one family at a time by granting life-changing wishes to deserving kids.<\/p>\n

Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has made more than 500,000 wishes come true for kids diagnosed with critical illnesses and their families. About 80% of those wishes involve travel<\/a>. In fact, Make-A-Wish needs more than 2.8 billion miles \u2014 the equivalent of 50,000 round-trip tickets \u2014 to cover the travel wishes made each year.<\/p>\n

TPG has partnered with Make-A-Wish since 2017 to raise awareness, funds and the airline miles necessary to give kids facing critical illnesses a chance to just be kids.<\/p>\n

In honor of World Wish Day, held annually April 29, here’s a look back at the work Make-A-Wish does for families, TPG’s partnership with Make-A-Wish and how you can support this important cause.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, TPG has supported Make-A-Wish through donation drives, campaigns and live events. In 2018, TPG partnered with Make-A-Wish through a Prizeo campaign where donors could win travel-related prizes by donating to the organization.<\/p>\n
