HPN Global Becomes National Sponsor of Make-A-Wish Foundation

Hospitality Performance Network Global (HPNG), the world’s most global site selection and meeting procurement company has recently become a national sponsor of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of America. HPN Global plans to support the Foundation by donating hotel reward points to the nonprofit.

Scottsdale, Ariz.

"We have always been committed to giving back to the communities we live and work in," said Bill Kilburg, Chairman and CEO. "But, what is really exciting about this sponsorship is the national scope. With hundreds of associates spread across the country, we have the opportunity to make a significant impact to those who need it most."

Mary Muchka, Vice President of Global Accounts brought the idea to HPN Global. Personally, she had thousands of hotel and air reward points and thought it would be great to donate them to an organization that could utilize them, instead of continuing to let them go to waste. HPNG’s founders embraced the idea and decided to make it a global, company-wide initiative.

"It’s a natural fit for HPN Global and Make-A-Wish Foundation," said Muchka. "We’re in the travel business and with hundreds of associates around the world, our company is in a position to donate large amounts of reward points. Every 40 minutes a child’s wish is granted somewhere in the United States thru Make a Wish Foundation. Through HPNG’s involvement we’ll be able to grant many more wishes. Encouraging our associates, clients and hotel partners thru donations of their reward points we will help alleviate the heavy costs of travel wishes. I am honored and thrilled to be spearheading HPN’s Global efforts with this most worthy organization."
