Friends of Hawaii Charities, Inc.

Who We Are
Friends of Hawaii Charities, Inc., a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ), was formed in 1998 as a result of the shared vision and collaboration of a group of Hawaii business and community leaders to generate needed funding for Hawaii’s not-for-profit organizations that benefit women, children, youth, and needy programs. The Friends’ principal fund-raising event is the SONY OPEN IN HAWAII PGA TOUR golf tournament held at Waialae Country Club each January. Friends and the event’s charity partner, The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, Inc. have generated more than $8,000,000 benefiting hundreds of Hawaii not-for-profit organizations.
