Did you know that the Sony Open in Hawaii PGA TOUR golf tournament is the largest charity golf event in Hawaii?  Since 1999, the Sony Open in Hawaii event has generated more than $25 million for local nonprofits across the state.  In 2024, tournament host, Friends of Hawaii Charities, together with charity partner, Hawai’i Community Foundation, channeled $1.2 million in funding to local nonprofit programs strategically serving special communities in our island home.  These vital funds contributed to increasing household financial stability and access to safe and affordable housing, improving kūpuna (elderly) care, and facilitating the healthy development of preschool children affected by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).  

“Our Pro-Am experience has allowed us to connect our company’s key employees with other industry professionals in a relaxed, enjoyable setting. It’s not just about the game; it’s a powerful marketing tool that helps build relationships through shared moments of excitement and camaraderie,” shares Commercial Plumbing Inc. President, Randy Hiraki.  A sponsor of the Sony Open in Hawaii since 2009, Commercial Plumbing Inc. is an Official Pro-Am team sponsor and has a hospitality tent located on the 18th fairway during tournament week.
