Community Impact Programs

For every Mariners Home Run at T-Mobile Park, Alaska Airlines donates 10,000 miles (40,000 Miles for a Grand Slam) to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). Alaska Airlines has partnered with UNCF for over 15 years and in April 2021, Alaska Airlines and UNCF launched the Our Commitment aircraft which flies Alaska's network year-round, highlighting the importance of education, equity and belonging, and amplifying the work of UNCF. As part of Alaska's CARE Miles program, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members are also welcome to donate their miles to support flights for young people visiting or attending colleges.
