YEA Networks CEO George Laughlin, syndicator of "The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show," "Tino Cochino Radio" and "The Hollywood 5," is officially on "The A-List." Laughlin is featured in the August issue of Southwest: The Magazine, the inflight magazine of Southwest Airlines, which is read by more than 6 million travelers every month.

In the magazine's latest installment of "The A-List," Laughlin shares his insights on business and travel, and notes that his most memorable trips on the airline have been to Orlando for the annual Kidd's Kids trip to Walt Disney World, which Southwest Airlines has supported for 13 years by donating a chartered plane and airfare for children with life-altering conditions and their parents. Kidd Kraddick founded Kidd's Kids in 1991 with a dream to make a difference in the lives of children and their families who deal with life-altering or life-threatening conditions. Since then, the charity has sent over 1,000 kids and their families on a trip of a lifetime to Walt Disney World.

Visit www.kiddskids.org during the month of August to donate to the charity to help support Kidd's Kids' mission and the upcoming Kidd's Kids trip to Disney World on November 21.
