Giving Back Through Education and Support

As part of its ongoing support for military communities, Pilot is donating $100,000 to Folds of Honor. This nonprofit helps provide scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members and first responders.

“With contributions to organizations like Folds of Honor, we salute military service members’ legacies by helping provide educational scholarships,” said Meg Counts, Pilot’s director of corporate giving and events. “As a company grounded in serving others, we are honored to give our support to military members and their families who do so much to uplift and protect our communities.”

This donation is part of Pilot’s Miles of Good program, which aims to make a meaningful impact in communities across the country. Since 2020, the company has contributed over $2.7 million to military-related initiatives, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to those who’ve served.
