WeSalute looks forward to this time of year so we can highlight the benefits of our program for the youth of America. For instance, Harry & David offers exclusive savings of 25% on care packages to send to loved ones each year. Greyhound Bus, an exclusive partner for 20 years, offers 10% savings each time one of our members boards a bus nationwide. That’s perfect for school commutes!

Finally, with all the tech companies we have in the program - from Apple, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, and wireless carriers Verizon and AT&T - there’s lots of ways for kids and young adults to connect and get their school work done. Learn more in the WeSalute Marketplace.

And enjoy the rest of the summer!
