Feb 21, 2013 8:00 AM ET ![](https://3blaws.s3.amazonaws.com/styles/carousel_2x/s3/images/adoptapilotdancer.jpg) [Nuts About Southwest](http://www.blogsouthwest.com/blog/vote-southwest%E2%80%99s-video%E2%80%94our-pilots-take-kids%E2%80%99-dreams-30000-feet) Emily Kasinger never imagined that a Southwest Airlines Pilot would play a huge role in taking her dream on the dance floor to 30,000 feet. Helping kids dream big dreams—that’s the mission of First Officer Gary Hooyman who volunteers for Southwest’s Adopt-A-Pilot Program. This video highlights the amazing things that happen because of our unique Adopt-A-Pilot volunteer program and that our Pilots do more than teach math and science through aviation-related activities in fifth-grade classrooms—they inspire kids to stay in school, set goals, and dream big. We’re excited to announce that we’ve entered this video in the **[Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC) 2013 Film Festival](http://www.bcccc.net/index.cfm?pageId=2244)**. The BCCCC festival highlights entries that demonstrate the power of video to communicate the positive impact of a company’s work in its community. **TAKE ACTION | VOTE!** We need your vote for Southwest to become one of the ten finalists, which will then be reviewed by a panel of judges to choose the winner.
