On Monday, Aug. 8, hotel loyalty program Wyndham Rewards provided 35 pairs of Chicago-based Big Brothers, Big Sisters and their respective Littles with an unforgettable day at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee.

"Wyndham Rewards is all about helping people create lasting memories together when they travel, and there's nothing quite like taking your first roller coaster ride," said Noah Brodsky, SVP of Worldwide Loyalty and Engagement at Wyndham Hotel Group. "As a former Big myself, I know just how important these experiences can be, which is why I'm so proud we're able to support Big Brothers, Big Sisters and all they do for youth across the country."

The complimentary day passes, parking passes and $60 in-park cash is part of a one-day, nationwide initiative made possible by Wyndham Rewards' newly formed partnership with Six Flags. Simultaneously, Big Brothers, Big Sisters pairs in Dallas, Los Angeles, New England and St. Louis will receive the same experience at their local Six Flags theme parks.
