Lokai Creates Limited-Edition Neon Lokai And Joins Forces With Make-A-Wish® And Cam Newton To Make Wishes Come True
NEW YORK, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lokai is pleased to announce its partnership with Make-A-Wish®, along with NFL MVP Cam Newton, and the Cam Newton Foundation. Lokai, a socially responsible lifestyle brand that represents the importance of finding balance along life's journey, has launched a limited-edition Neon Lokai to benefit Make-A-Wish. The campaign, which was announced jointly by Steven Izen, Founder & CEO of Lokai and Make-A-Wish President & CEO, David Williams, kicks off on April 11th, and runs through May 31st.
For each Neon Lokai sold between April 11th, 2016 and May 31st, 2016, Lokai will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $300,000. The limited-edition Neon Lokai will officially be sold online at Lokai.com for $18. Lokai's contribution will directly grant the wishes of dozens of children and their families across the country.
On behalf of Lokai, Cam Newton surprised three children who wished to meet the superstar in Charlotte, North Carolina. Video content featuring Cam surprising the kids will be shared via Lokai & Make-A-Wish social channels on April 29th, World Wish Day – a celebration of the first wish that inspired Make-A-Wish.
"We are so proud to support an organization that brings hope and happiness to children with life-threatening medical conditions," said Steven Izen. "It is extremely rewarding to work with Make-A-Wish, helping to make wishes come true for these amazing children and their families. We encourage the entire Lokai community to join our efforts in bringing Make-A-Wish closer to achieving their ultimate vision – making the wish of every eligible child come true."
"We're incredibly passionate about granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions and are thrilled to work with our friends at Lokai to make even more wishes come true," said Mr. Williams. "We're dedicated to the thousands of wish kids whose wishes we grant each year around the country – and for good reason: a wish-come-true is a game-changer for kids in the fight against their illness. We know that a wish is a vital part of treatment, helping wish kids feel better, and sometimes get better. However, we can't grant wishes without people like our friends at Lokai. Their support will help us grant even more incredible wishes that will help change the lives of wish kids and their families, forever."
Since its launch in 2013, Lokai has raised over $4 Million for a variety of non-profit organizations. The partnership with Make-A-Wish represents the newest chapter in Lokai's ongoing commitment to giving back. Supporters can share their Neon Lokai photos on Instagram, tagging @livelokai and @makeawishamerica, and using the hashtags #livelokai and #neonwish.
