Community outreach
We celebrate not only Pride but are also actively involved in our local communities. We have marched in more parades than any other airline and we’re consistently supporting festivals throughout the year. We also volunteer with organizations such as Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) and Center on Halsted to support the LGBTQ+ community.
Go Purple for Spirit Day
In October, we show our support for LGBTQ+ youth and take a stand against bullying by participating in Spirit Day and raising funds for community organizations.
