CruisesOnly will donate $5 to Make-A-Wish® for every cruise vacation booked, up to $25,000
Wilmington, Mass. (November 24, 2020) – GivingTuesday, a global generosity movement, has quickly become one of the most popular days to do good by giving back. In celebration of this holiday, CruisesOnly, America’s Largest Cruise Agency, announced for its 10th consecutive year that it will donate $5 to Make-A-Wish® for every cruise vacation booked, up to $25,000. The chance to give back starts at 12 a.m. on GivingTuesday, December 1, through 11:59 p.m. on December 2. Customers will also have the chance to make an additional $5 donation.
“Wishes don’t happen without the support of individuals and sponsors like World Travel Holdings,” said LuAnn Bott, vice president of revenue partnerships and services for Make-A-Wish America. “For a family with a child fighting a critical illness, every day of waiting for a wish is one too many. With the help of our supporters, we will bring joy back into families lives this holiday season.”
CruisesOnly and its employees have proudly supported Make-A-Wish since July 2011 through its shared initiatives raising more than $1M since inception, with more than $230,000 coming from this particular promotion.
“A lot of non-profit organizations have struggled for donations this year due to COVID-19 so we are excited to be able to support our signature charity Make-A-Wish,” said Loren Kennedy, senior vice president of Customer Care for CruisesOnly. “Our customers are looking to the future and excited about traveling again and this allows them to easily give back to such a worthwhile cause.”

About Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child’s wish to life because every child deserves a childhood.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the wish that inspired the founding of the organization in 1980. Since then, Make-A-Wish has become the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the United States and in nearly 50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 34,000 volunteers across the U.S. unite to deliver hope to wish kids and their families when they need it most. In total, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 330,000 wishes to children in the U.S. and its territories; more than 15,800 wishes in 2019 alone.
