“The fact that we raised over $60,000 in last year's economic climate is a true testament to the inherent spirit of aloha and a love for keiki that runs throughout this community. Our team is looking forward to this year’s campaign and helping to make more children’s dreams come true," says David Lewin, general manager at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa.
The goal of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to make a dream that seems impossible come true for young people diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. Make-A-Wish, Hawaii, Executive Director, Lyn Brown, approximately fifty wishes are granted each year. Proceeds from the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa annual Swing for Wishes golf tournament, have fulfilled the wishes of at least twenty-five children in the past three years.

Hyatt’s philosophy of community involvement matches our belief in using grassroots outreach to create a widespread, lasting impact on everyone who shares in a wish.”
