Aeroplan Points Matching Week: Support Children’s Medical Travel Needs

I have the ultimate privilege of being points-rich, so I have donated 25,000 Aeroplan points to get the ball rolling. I hope readers of this website will consider using some of their points towards this meaningful cause. No amount is too small.

Until October 13, 2024, Aeroplan and its partners are matching points donations to the Hospital Transportation Program, aiming to raise 60 million points. Points donated to the Air Canada Foundation are distributed to 15 pediatric hospitals across Canada. The program has already had a meaningful impact, providing 308 flights for 214 children just last year. Members can participate in Aeroplan Points Matching Week to support the Air Canada Foundation’s Hospital Transportation Program.

Air Canada Foundation – Hospital Transportation Program

Created in 2003, the Hospital Transportation Program helps connect children to the medical care they need away from home by redistributing Aeroplan points to 15 pediatric hospitals across Canada. With your contribution, young patients and accompanying parents can access medical care not offered in their community.

• BC Children’s Hospital (BC)
• Alberta Children’s Hospital (AB)
• Stollery Children’s Hospital (AB)

During Points Matching Week, which runs until October 13, 2024, every Aeroplan point you donate will be matched by Aeroplan up to 10 million points. Aeroplan’s partners TD and CIBC also match member donations, enhancing the impact of your contribution. 100% of your donated Aeroplan points will go directly to the Hospital Transportation Program.

For those with Aeroplan points, this is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Your support can make a child’s journey to health a bit easier. No amount is small – consider donating what you can.
