ALLEGIANT CARES

Allegiant’s Commitment to Our Communities

By Allegiant Corporate Giving

A month after Hurricane Ian swept across Florida, Allegiant continues its efforts to aid and restore the regions most impacted by the devastating storm. In addition to an immediate $100,000 monetary donation, the Las Vegas-based company is currently in the midst of sponsoring a nationwide blood drive in partnership with the American Red Cross.

Enabling community safety, preparedness, and recovery in the event of a disaster is one of Allegiant’s key philosophies. Many communities in which Allegiant team members live and work were in the storm’s direct path, and employees and customers far and wide wanted to help. In order to ensure our efforts would go directly to those who need it most, we teamed up with the American Red Cross — a trusted organization when it comes to providing critical disaster relief.

One of the most efficient ways to make a difference is through a monetary donation, which is why Allegiant announced the $100,000 donation to the American Red Cross two days after the storm made landfall. In addition, the company activated an online giving platform to empower anyone wishing to make a donation to disaster relief efforts.

On Nov. 1, Allegiant and the American Red Cross launched a month-long nationwide blood drive encouraging team members, their friends and families, and passengers, to give a life-saving gift straight from their heart. Donating blood in the aftermath of a crisis is one of the best ways people who do not live in the area can help. Donating blood can not only help fortify local supplies, it can also help reduce local demand, ensuring more blood is available for those in need elsewhere.

Florida is such a critical part of Allegiant’s network, as we serve 10 airports in the Sunshine State, and are currently building the Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor near the Punta Gorda Airport.

If you or anyone you know is affected by Hurricane Ian and needing a safe place to go, you can find information for open Red Cross shelters on redcross.org, the Red Cross emergency app or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).
