United Airlines and American Cancer Society Introduce Holden Hugyou
United Airlines and the American Cancer Society are teaming up for the third consecutive year. Holden Hugyou - a huggable, limited-edition 14-inch Gund teddy bear - was designed for this year's money raising effort. Holden is the cuddly younger brother of Maye I. Hugyou and Kenny Hugyou, who delivered smiles to nearly 18,000 children in 2008 and 2007.
For each contribution of at least 7,500 Mileage Plus miles or of a minimum of $50, volunteers - including United employees - will deliver a Holden Hugyou teddy bear to a child with cancer at hospitals throughout the country in February 2010. Contributions can be made through December 31 by visiting united.com/bearhug. Individuals who contribute $250 to the American Cancer Society through this initiative will also receive their own Holden Hugyou bear.
"The expressions of the faces of children receiving a teddy bear is worth a million miles," said Sonya Jackson, president of the United Airlines Foundation. "We are so grateful for the overwhelming response from our customers and colleagues, who together have raised more than 100 million Mileage Plus miles and more than $360,000 for the American Cancer Society for this program since it began in 2007."
