Going the extra mile to fight cancer

For the second year in a row, Alaska Airlines and GCI have teamed up to donate one million miles to the American Cancer Society and their program to help Alaskan cancer patients travel for their treatment.

Whether traveling from remote areas of the state or traveling out of state, every patient could use a little more support in their corner. The American Cancer Society can assist patients who need to travel within Alaska for medical treatment. In some limited cases, travel to the mainland may also be possible for patients who cannot otherwise receive treatment for their condition in their location.

Three days or more in advance is required to request a reservation. Call the American Cancer Society at 800-227-2345 if you are interested in requesting a free flight or simply wish to donate miles to the program.
