Aeroplan’s Points Matching Week kicks off today, supporting the Air Canada Foundation

MONTREAL — Aeroplan’s annual Points Matching Week, in support of the Air Canada Foundation, kicks off today and runs through Oct. 8.

Aeroplan points donated to the Air Canada Foundation’s Hospital Transportation Program will be matched by Aeroplan, up to 20 million points.

Aeroplan’s partners TD, CIBC, and Avis Budget Group will also be matching member donations, up to a combined five times Aeroplan member donations.

As always, 100% of the Aeroplan points donated will go to support the Air Canada Foundation’s Hospital Transportation Program. The Air Canada Foundation Hospital Transportation Program, now in its 20th year, helps young patients reach medical care not offered in their community at 15 pediatric hospitals nationwide. Last year 179 children and their families were supported through the Air Canada Foundation.

“I can’t believe the Hospital Transportation Program is celebrating its 20th year! Aeroplan members show us every year how deeply they care for this program and so we’re happy to hear that in celebration of its 20th year, Aeroplan will be by matching member donations up to 20 million points,” said Adam Starkman, President and CEO of Canada’s Children’s Hospital Foundations.

The annual Points Matching Week initiative is the largest annual fundraiser for the Hospital Transportation Program.
