The generosity and kindness displayed by team members across McAfee is one major factor that makes up the incredible culture of the company.

Every mile donated will help kids and their families travel to destinations around the world, once it is safe to resume travel. It is just one of the ways that individuals can help create a life-changing wish experience.
Some of our team members organized an air miles donation drive and encouraged others to donate their miles to the cause. The impact was astronomical, with team members raising over 585,000 miles to benefit the Make–a–Wish Foundation in the Bay Area.
We reached out to three airline mile contributors at McAfee and discussed what inspired them to contribute to this extraordinary initiative.
