HONOLULU (HI Now) - For keiki facing critical illnesses, a wish can offer a moment of joy and bring families closer together during a challenging time.
Make-A-Wish Hawaii creates these experiences with help from community partners, including First Hawaiian Bank.
The bank has supported Make-A-Wish Hawaii for nearly two decades, contributing more than $1 million through grants, employee giving and sponsorships. Its employees also volunteer at events, serve in leadership roles and help raise awareness of the nonprofit’s mission.
First Hawaiian Bank private banking officer Ezekiel “Zeke” Bernardo-Flores, who serves on the Make-A-Wish Hawaii Young Leaders Board, and interim president and CEO Madalyn Kenney Bumanglag join HI Now Daily to share how the partnership supports local wish families.
The community can help by donating, volunteering or joining the Jingle Rock Run on Sunday, Dec. 6, at Kakaʻako Waterfront Park.
