JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) proudly announced today that its
dedicated crewmembers have logged over 1.5 million volunteer hours
since launching its service initiative in 2011, giving back to
communities across its network and beyond. To celebrate this
milestone and continue its commitment to service this Giving
Tuesday, JetBlue is donating 3 million TrueBlue points to its
charitable partners.
“Since JetBlue’s inception, service has been an intrinsic part
of our mission to bring humanity back to air travel,” said Icema
Gibbs, vice president of corporate social responsibility and
diversity, equity and inclusion, JetBlue. “Beyond our operation,
our service extends on the ground through the volunteer efforts of
our incredible crewmembers. Reaching 1.5 million hours of caring is
a direct reflection of their dedication to giving back.”
Through JetBlue For Good®, the airline fosters a culture of
service by supporting causes that matter to its customers and
crewmembers. These efforts include fundraising, community events,
environmental cleanups, and disaster relief, making a meaningful
impact where its people live, work, and fly.
3 Million Points with Purpose
To celebrate the achievement, this Giving Tuesday, JetBlue is
donating 3 million TrueBlue points across its charitable partners
and encourages customers to join in on the good through its
TrueBlue Points Donation platform. JetBlue is proud to support 20
charitable organizations year-round. All points donated go directly
to the selected charity, and each charity may use the points for
travel for their organization.
Sharing Good in 2024:
- Community Connection – JetBlue crewmembers give back to
a variety of causes and nonprofits throughout JetBlue’s 100+ cities
in the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. In 2024
alone, crewmembers logged more than 49,000 volunteer hours,
supporting over 800 organizations. As part of JetBlue’s ‘Flights
for Fifty’ program, crewmembers have the opportunity to donate two
round-trip travel certificates to a charity of their choice for
every 50 hours of service logged.
- Supporting Puerto Rico – This year, JetBlue brought good
to Puerto Rico through various initiatives including the airline’s
signature Soar with Reading initiative. Through partnership with
Little Free Libraries, JetBlue and its crewmembers installed seven
free book sharing boxes across the island. JetBlue also supported
this year’s SOMOS Puerto Rico Conference, which unites the Latino
community on public policy in collaboration with the New York State
Assembly and Senate Puerto Rican & Hispanic Task Force.
Participants packed over 700 backpacks with essential school
supplies to support local organizations and students in need,
adding to JetBlue’s more than 2,000 backpacks donated this
year.
- ‘Sweet Cases’ for Foster Love – JetBlue teamed up with
long-standing partner, Foster Love, to provide foster children with
hand-decorated duffel bags and care items, also known as ‘Sweet
Cases.’ In November, crewmembers from more than 35 cities across
the airline’s network volunteered their time to package over 700
duffle bags. In the last decade, JetBlue has supported over 10,000
youth through its partnership with Foster Love.
