SkyChange Donations 2023
SkyLine/SkyBest is happy to introduce SkyChange – a way to change lives in your community. SkyChange is a customer-funded program that will help local charitable organizations throughout the SkyLine/SkyBest service area. Customers can round up their bill to the next whole dollar amount each month to contribute to SkyChange.
Customer donations will not exceed $11.88 per year. The monthly round-up amount will reflect on monthly SkyLine/SkyBest statements. In most cases, donations will be tax deductible.
