Virgin America Asks Dallas-Fort Worth to Stand Up For a Good Cause and a New of Flying
Virgin America is teaming up with Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) to encourage “do-gooders” in its newest market to stand up for a good cause. The “Stand Up Dallas-Fort Worth” digital campaign urges flyers to tap their network of friends and family to raise awareness and funds for collaborative cancer research. With every unique donation of at least $5, entrants will score a 20 percent flight discount* with the airline that is known for standing up to the old way of flying (and for being named the best airline in America by Condé Nast Traveler for three consecutive years). In addition, the top do-gooders - those who tap the largest network of donors - will score** a red hot invitation to the airline’s Lone Star Launch Party, featuring some “smoking” secret musical performances, at The Winspear Opera House on December 1, 2010. The campaign runs through November 26, 2010, at: http://standupdfw.com.
