American Airlines, in collaboration with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), is launching its annual campaign to raise funds for innovative and lifesaving cancer research — and is calling for support from customers.
The six-week campaign, “Let’s Go Further, Together,” launches Aug. 13 and features award-winning actress Lily Collins, SU2C researchers and American’s team members — each with their own meaningful cancer story — in a critical public service announcement about coming together to end cancer once and for all.
From Aug. 13. to Sept. 30, 2026, donors who give $25 or more to SU2C online at SU2C.org/AmericanAirlines will earn 25 AAdvantage® bonus miles for every dollar donated. And thanks to the generous support of Mastercard, those who use their AAdvantage® Mastercard® credit card to donate between $25 and $10,000 online will receive 50 bonus miles for every dollar donated until Sept. 30, 2026, or when total qualifying donations reach $5 million, whichever comes first.*
SU2C, established in 2008, enables scientific breakthroughs by funding collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional scientific cancer research teams and investigators. Since joining forces with SU2C in 2016, American has raised more than $34 million in support of the mission.
In 2019, American unveiled a specially designed Airbus A321 aircraft featuring SU2C livery and the names of loved ones honored by customers and team members impacted by the disease. This powerful tribute is still flying today and serves as a constant reminder of those who inspire this mission every day.
“I’m incredibly grateful and proud to be part of this campaign with Stand Up To Cancer and American Airlines,” said award-winning actress Lily Collins. “Cancer has touched so many lives, and it’s inspiring to come together in support of the researchers, patients, families and communities working toward a future without this disease. Every conversation, every donation and every act of generosity brings us one step closer to making a meaningful difference. It’s an honor to lend my voice to a cause that gives so many people hope.”
