The Sony Open in Hawaii: Each January the Sony Open in Hawaii attracts 144 of the world's greatest golf professionals to the Waialae Country Club on the island of Oahu. The event is the largest charity event in Hawaii and has raised over $9 million dollars for the local not-for-profits since 1999.
In just eleven years, the Sony Open has emerged as a leader in charitable giving in the state. With a significant start of generating $256,000 for 43 charities in 1998, tournament charity proceeds now surpass the $1 million mark annually benefiting more than 100 not-for-profit organizations.
Global impact of the event reaches over 450 million homes in some 200 countries via multiple national and international broadcast networks, and contributes an estimated $100 million in marketing and economic impact to Hawaii. One of the most international events on the PGA TOUR schedule, the Sony Open showcases international golf talent and camaraderie against the backdrop of Hawaii’s natural beauty to the world.

Who We Are
Friends of Hawaii Charities, Inc., 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. The Friends’ principal fund-raising event is the SONY OPEN IN HAWAII PGA TOUR golf tournament held at Waialae Country Club each January. Through a charity partnership with The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, Inc., the Friends have generated more than $9 million over the past 11 years, benefiting hundreds of Hawaii charities.
Our Mission
Friends of Hawaii Charities activates financial resources from the private sector and spirited volunteerism from the community, in concert with the extraordinary natural resources of the state, to produce sports and cultural events that generate funds for qualifying not-for-profit endeavors in Hawaii benefiting its women, children, youth, and needy, primarily in the areas of intervention, health, and education.
Charity - The Sony Open in Hawaii
Sony Corporation’s commitment to extend its title sponsorship of the Sony Open in Hawaii to 2010 makes Hawaii’s not-for-profit organizations the biggest winners at Hawaii’s PGA TOUR stop.
