Dear Southwest Airlines Family,
For the past 7 years and thanks to the legendary generosity of the People from Southwest Airlines, we have been able to help TeletonUSA raise funds to build and operate their FIRST REHABILITATION CENTER (CRIT) IN THE USA.
Through the use of state-of-the-art technology, the first Children’s Rehabilitation Institute of Teleton (CRIT) in San Antonio Texas helps patients from San Antonio as well as patients from across the United States. The CRIT USA treats children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, genetic disorders, congenital diseases, spinal cord injuries, amputations and babies in need of early intervention – regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Why we continue supporting TeletonUSA?
We chose “TeletonUSA”because it fits perfectly with one of our strategic focus areas: Organizations that aid Families Facing Serious Illnesses. If you think about it, even our logos are very similar (their main element is a big heart). The foundation is registered with the U.S. I.R.S as a 501c3 organization known as "TeletonUSA", so your donations are Tax Deductible .
This is once again a great opportunity to show our Hispanic Community what LUV is all about and promote our Values and Culture within those markets that we are now serving.
Why make your donations here and not directly to the foundation using their website?
While the main goal is the same (to help the kids), we would like all the proceeds from this and other fundraising activities to be donated as a single contribution from the People of Southwest Airlines .
Over the past 7 years, we have developed a very strong relationship with "TeletonUSA" and all our donations have been either presented or mentioned during their Live TV Broadcasts.
This great Live TV presentation opportunity has allowed the People of Southwest Airlines to promote our Culture and Corporate Values within the Hispanic Community.
We are spreading our LUV far and wide because the broadcast of the TeletonUSA has one of the biggest Hispanic TV audience during any season.

Thank you all in advance with all our "hearts" for your contributions.
Gustavo, Jorge, Dana and our Team at SWA.
