DoSomething.org and JetBlue Launch All You Can Jet™ Contest, Where Five Lucky Winners will be Selected to Use the Travel Pass to Further Their Social Action Efforts
New York, NY (Aug. 19, 2010) –DoSomething.org and JetBlue Airways announce today a new contest for young social activists that allows them the opportunity to utilize JetBlue’s exclusive All You Can Jet™ (#AYCJ) Pass, good for 30 days of unlimited travel to any of JetBlue’s 61 destinations across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean, to further their world-changing efforts.
From Aug. 18-25, young people aged 13-25 are encouraged to submit their social action programs through DoSomething.org, explaining how the #AYCJ Pass would be used to further the impact of their project and/or organization. More information on the #AYCJ Pass is available at www.jetblue.com/aycj.
The five submissions who exhibit the greatest overall impact for the pass use will be selected to receive two AYCJ-7 passes each, allowing them to jet anywhere JetBlue flies as often as they’d like from September 7th through October 6th, 2010. Winners will be required to report back to DoSomething.org through video, pictures and testimonials explaining how each trip furthered his/her project or organization’s goals.
“At DoSomething.org we’ve found that young people have the motivation and creativity to bring about real changes in the world,” said CMO Aria Finger, “but don’t always have all the money and resources to achieve their goals. We’re so excited to be working with JetBlue to give them the opportunity to extend their physical reach across the nation and abroad to make an impact!”
“Last year’s Pass was a huge success among our customers, who for a variety of reasons –from business and personal to charitable – were inspired by the idea of travel without boundaries,” said Icema Gibbs, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility for JetBlue. “This year, we are thrilled to provide our long-standing partner DoSomething.org with these Passes to enable young leaders to advance their cause through travel across JetBlue’s network, and we look forward to learning more about the successful outcome of their journey.”
Each winner will receive two AYCJ-7 passes, one for the advocate submitting the project and another to be accompanied by a chaperone or additional member of their organization. Rules and restrictions do apply. Visit http://www.dosomething.org/grants/jetblue for more information!
