Sunwing Foundation and Hakim Optical partner to give children a Flying Start

This festive season, Sunwing Foundation and leading optical company, Hakim Optical, are teaming up to bring holiday cheer to local children in the Caribbean and Mexico. All you have to do is bring in a new or gently-used book to a participating Hakim Optical location near you between now and January 6, 2020. The donations collected at Hakim Optical locations will be flown down on board Sunwing Airlines, where they’ll be distributed to local school children in need as part of the Sunwing Foundation’s Flying Start initiative. When you make your donation, you’ll have the chance to enter into the contest to win an all inclusive vacation for two adults and two children to Riu Emerald Bay in Mazatlán, Mexico.

Everyone who donates also receives a $50 Hakim Optical gift card to be used against the purchase of prescription eyeglasses.

Thank you for your support.

The Sunwing Flying Start initiative aims to provide students in the destinations that Sunwing serves with all the essential tools and building blocks for a successful education. To find out more about the Sunwing Foundation, click here.
