Athletes for Africa is pleased to announce a new partnership with Aeroplan, becoming the ninth charitable partner in the Beyond Miles program. Aeroplan is launching the partnership with a generous donation of more than 1.2 million Aeroplan Miles.

“As a small, growing Canadian-founded charity with international aspirations, we’re honoured to be added to this elite list of Aeroplan Beyond Miles partners,” said Athletes for Africa Executive Director Adrian Bradbury. “Support from a global leader like Aeroplan is not only going to change the way we travel, it’s going to change how we listen, learn and support the leaders of tomorrow in Africa, Canada and all over the world.”

Aeroplan members and A4A supporters can donate their miles to A4A below or check out our Aeroplan Beyond Miles page.

Your generosity will make a difference. By donating your miles, not only are you offsetting our costs—which means even more dollars can go toward local programs that strengthen communities, provide education and foster skills development—but you’re also enabling our staff to do their jobs that much more effectively.

* Your miles help us monitor our programs on the ground in Uganda, Sudan and the DRC *

* Your miles help us support our fundraising initiatives by sharing Africa’s stories *

* Your miles help us educate Canadian youth and develop global citizens *

Also, in keeping with Aeroplan’s environmental program, Green It Up, Aeroplan will fully offset carbon emissions from all flights using donated miles. This way, you’re empowering youth in Africa and doing it in an environmentally-friendly fashion.

We are pleased to thank Aeroplan, its partners and its members for such a worthy program and such a tremendously successful campaign. Your—and their—support helps make our mission possible.
