It says it has raised more than $800 million for research. Its inaugural 2008 telecast was viewed in more than 170 countries and helped raise over $100 million. SU2C says 100% of donations received support its collaborative cancer research programs, while the American Association for Cancer Research serves as its scientific partner.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a great promotion, considering you can effectively buy AAdvantage miles at 2 cents each. That's less than the 2.26 cents each through the <a href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/buy-american-airlines-miles\/\">ongoing American Airlines buy miles promotion<\/a>. And this is a great way to gain a nice chunk of miles for your donations if you're a fan of donating to cancer research. And if you're just looking at buying more AAdvantage miles, this is currently your best chance to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Some <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/aa-award-chart\/\" rel=\"noopener\">American Airlines AAdvantage awards<\/a> cost as little as 5,000 miles. You'd only need to donate $100 using an American Airlines AAdvantage Mastercard to earn enough miles to book such an award. That's nothing short of a win-win.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#AAdvantage_Miles_for_Stand_Up_To_Cancer_Donations\">AAdvantage Miles for Stand Up To Cancer Donations<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Terms_and_Conditions\">Terms and Conditions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_Is_Stand_Up_To_Cancer\">What Is Stand Up To Cancer?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Airlines just relaunched its annual partnership with Stand Up To Cancer to give AAdvantage members up to 50 miles on the dollar for all donations made to Stand Up to Cancer!
