Check Out These Pink Ribbon Aircrafts
Earlier this week, two co-branded aircrafts were unveiled … an American Airlines Boeing 757 and an American Eagle Embraer 145, each sporting a pink ribbon motif (it’s a decal, actually, how cool is that?).
They’re adding similar ribbons to an additional six aircrafts in the coming months.
The pink-ribbon planes made their inaugural flights to DFW on August 11th “from Tulsa International Airport (TUL) and Abilene Regional Airport (ABI), where crowds of employees, volunteers, breast cancer survivors and local officials turned out at dawn for sendoff festivities. The flight attendants on both inaugural flights are breast cancer survivors, as well.”
In May I announced the kickoff of the American Airlines ‘Miles for the Cure’ program.
When the Miles for the Cure program reached $600,000 in donations, I posted about it again.
And today … I’ve got images of these planes to share:

Actually, not to be a stick in the mud but I’d rather read that these funds were used to pay for the needs of women with the disease than for a giant sticker. Nice blog overall.

Kate, you’ve got a point … but raising awareness often leads to more funds raised overall, so it is a bit of a balance act, don’t you think?
