‘Make-A-Wish’ with AAA and the Carolina Panthers

A new partner program between the Make-A-Wish foundation, the Carolina Panthers and AAA allows Carolinian motorists and travelers to benefit a good cause with the purchase of a new Carolina Panthers AAA Card to their wallets.

Proceeds from card sales will be offered to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, known for granting wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.

The card, available exclusively through AAA Carolinas, includes 24/7 roadside assistance and allows fans to save at more than 150,000 online and in-store savings partners, including a 10 percent discount at the Carolina Panthers Team Store.

“We didn’t just want a new AAA card that looked nice,” said David E. Parsons, CEO and president of AAA Carolinas. “We wanted the card to mean something more – beyond AAA and the Panthers.”

“This card is the perfect match of two organizations that care about people and have a special place for Make-A-Wish Foundation.”

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses, sending them to theme parks, live television performances, sporting events or helping them enjoy a specially requested occasion.

For the 1.7 million AAA members in the Carolinas, the Carolina Panthers AAA card is only $5. New members joining AAA can get the Panthers AAA card for the same $5, in addition to the AAA membership they select.

AAA membership includes the protection of 24/7 roadside service for every member, as well as discounts on travel, insurance, car care and everyday purchases.

Among the 150,000 AAA savings partners is the Carolina Panthers Team Store, where AAA members save 10 percent on their purchases.
