For the second year in a row, Southwest Airlines has
adopted Our House as its charitable partner. Southwest employees have volunteered at Our House, and
one even designed an apron for Tie One On! Southwest
Airlines has donated 20 tickets to Our House, which
we auction at our events and use for travel to conferences for staff members. The gift, valued at $8,000, is
a great example of how a corporate partner’s donation
of products or services is just as valuable to us as a
monetary gift. Last year, Our House received over
$780,000 in non-monetary in-kind donations. That’s
almost as much as our total cash budget for the year!
