Eagle employees – as individuals and as groups – volunteer their time and talents to a wide variety of charitable organizations and causes. American Advocates, a volunteer program launched in 2004, has 10,000 volun- teers who participate in various initia- tives. Employee volunteerism is important to American employees because it is the right thing to do and because it increases employee loyalty and pride to see American involved in the community. Customer loyalty is also increased, as customers see Amer- ican as an airline that goes beyond the services it sells to enrich the entire

In any given month, Ameri- can’s employees may be involved in building houses supporting Habit for Humanity, rebuilding an AIDS orphan- age in Nairobi, Kenya, or participating in a relief mission to Haiti. American Airlines is also a major contributor to Airline Ambassadors International, a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian aid to chil- dren and families in need as well as relief and development to under-privi- leged communities worldwide. Employees have also helped raise
funds for UNICEF and Red Cross through Disaster Relief Funds and par- ticipated in Susan G. Komen® Race

American pledged to raise $8 million and is the first funder of Komen’s new category of grants, Promise Grants. The first American grant is funding a five-year study of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) at The University of Texas M. D. Ander- son Cancer Center.
