About Swing for Wishes
Our Mission is to help raise the spirits of our Bay Area Make-A-Wish children. The Swing for Wishes golf tournament enables us to create hope, happiness and make a difference in each of their lives.
In 2006, Chicago Based Global Hyatt Corporation announced a worldwide partnership with Make-A-Wish® America, a global organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
The global partnership sparked collaboration between Hyatt Hotels of San Francisco and Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area. The resulting Swing for Wishes annual golf tournament and fundraiser has raised over $2 Million dollars and granted over 200 wishes for Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area as of October 2023.
