Miles
of Good is guided by its mission to spread positivity, build meaningful
connections and create lasting impacts in the communities it serves, focusing
on three key pillars:
-
Safety:
Prioritizing the safety of team members, guests and surrounding communities
by supporting initiatives dedicated to well-being and protection.
-
Education:
Championing access to quality education, including STEM programs, scholarships
and resources to help students succeed.
-
Veterans:
Honoring military service and supporting veterans’ transition to civilian
life, providing career opportunities, and recognizing their ongoing contributions
to society.
To support
these pillars, Pilot’s philanthropic efforts include monetary donations,
in-kind contributions and community partnerships. Last year, Pilot donated
more than $5.5 million to several meaningful causes and is committed to
growing this number in the years ahead. Beyond charitable contributions,
Pilot encourages a spirit of volunteerism among its nearly 30,000 team
members, demonstrating the company’s commitment to creating lasting, positive
impacts in the lives of others.
“What
makes Miles of Good special is how it empowers our team members
to come together and make a meaningful difference,” said Meg
Counts, Pilot’s director of corporate giving and events. “This isn’t
just a corporate initiative, but a movement fueled by people who are passionate
about giving, volunteering their time and strengthening our communities.
We’re creating real impact because it comes from the heart and reflects
who we are at our core.”
Furthering
its people-first culture, the company launched Pilot Cares, a team member
assistance fund. This program offers financial support to team members
facing unexpected hardships, such as medical emergencies or natural disaster
recovery, ensuring they have the resources needed to get back on their
feet.
Through
Miles of Good, Pilot and its communities are paving the way for
a brighter, safer and more connected future. Guests can learn more about
