​On July 11, 2017, Ryan Pickren donated one million United Airline frequent flyer miles to Eckerd Kids Foundation in Clearwater, Florida. Pickren earned the frequent flyer miles by participating in a “bug bounty” program established by United Airlines. He discovered numerous vulnerabilities in the company’s website and reported them to the airline in exchange for miles. Over the past year, Ryan Pickren, has accrued over fifteen million miles, breaking the record for the most miles held by an individual. In an effort to support his local community and provide continued support to a favorite Pickren family community partner, Ryan Pickren made his donation valued at $20,000 to Eckerd Kids Foundation, a non-profit organization that advocates for children’s rights and well-being. The foundation assists youth in times of instability and provides families in need with access to resources and services in the community. Eckerd Youth Foundation is a national leader for advocacy of children’s rights and best practices in prevention and intervention for children who are at-risk. David Dennis, president and CEO of Eckerd Kids Foundation, responded to the donation, “We are so grateful to you for all your many years of support of our Vision of ensuring every child has an opportunity to succeed.” The Pickren family is a continued supporter of Eckerd Kids Foundation. The organization was the 2017 recipient of a $5,000 donation from Watercraft Superstore’s annual charity event, The Skyway Ski Show.
