Members of the American Airlines (OTCQB: AAMRQ) AAdvantage program will have a new opportunity to contribute to a noble cause while simultaneously bumping up their mileage balances, the airline said.

The carrier has announced the Summer Miles Challenge directly supporting the American Airlines Kids in Need(SM) program, which provides worldwide support to improve the quality of life for children and families with a variety of medical, educational and social service needs. To participate, AAdvantage members simply register for the challenge with their AAdvantage number and earn 100 AAdvantage miles. For every registration, American Airlines makes a donation to Miles for Kids in Need. In addition, American will donate a mile for every "share" on Facebook and Twitter. Registrants are automatically entered into a larger sweepstakes where they have the chance to win up to 100,000 AAdvantage miles. Winners are selected as the number of registrants reaches mileage thresholds and every time a sweepstakes winner is selected, American Airlines will donate the same number of miles to Miles for Kids in Need. American Airlines, American Eagle and the AmericanConnection carrier serve 260 airports in more than 50 countries and territories with, on average, more than 3,500 daily flights. The combined network fleet numbers more than 900 aircraft.
