25 years of wishes coming true. 🎋
At our Pearl City location, co-owner Tom Jones chatted with James Donnelly from Make-A-Wish Hawaii Make-A-Wish Hawaii, tanabata wish papers in hand, to talk about something close to our hearts this season.
The tradition: write a wish on paper, hang it on the bamboo tree, and hope it comes true. This year, we’re taking that spirit further — for every Tanabata special you order, Gyotaku is donating $1 to Make-A-Wish Hawaii to help grant wishes for kids facing critical illness right here at home.
As James put it: it’s wishes on the tree, and wishes coming true in Hawaii. That’s a combination we’re proud to be part of, especially as we celebrate 25 years.
Order a Tanabata special, make a wish, and help make someone else’s come true. 🌟
