Building on the success of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts' launch of the Wishes Start Here in June 2022, The Ultimate Kids' Playhouse Castle initiative underscores a joint commitment to providing hope and joy for children and their families when they need it most. Designed entirely by and for children, the playhouse will be available for public enjoyment from December 16 through to the end of March 2024.
"We are honored to have the Fairmont Chateau Whistler involved in the Wishes Start Here program, and to be able to offer this heartwarming playhouse experience for families during the festive season," says Norm Mastalir, managing director at Fairmont Chateau Whistler. "This initiative is aligned with our commitment to having a positive impact on the community, and we look forward to raising funds for Make-A-Wish and turning dreams into a reality for the many children supported by this valuable partnership."
With the goal to grant more than 500 wishes and donate €1 million in charitable support over the next three years, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts' Wishes Start Here program will introduce fundraising events at their hotels worldwide offering guests the opportunity to join them in their pledge to Make-A-Wish.
