5th October 2023 (Natadola, Fiji): Colleagues from three FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels – InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, Grand Pacific Hotel, and Holiday Inn Suva – are excited to launch a SHAVE IT OR SAVE IT fundraising campaign to raise FJ$40,000 for WOWS Kids Fiji.

It reaffirms our commitment to positively impacting the lives of the people in our community, especially children battling cancer and their families,” commented Lachlan Walker, Portfolio General Manager – IHG Hotels & Resorts, FNPF Owned Hotels. “WOWS Kids Fiji do incredible work to raise awareness for child cancer and support families of cancer sufferers in Fiji, we are grateful to members of our team who are committed to achieving our fundraising target by the end of October”

SHAVE IT OR SAVE IT: How It Works 

The SHAVE IT OR SAVE IT campaign is straightforward yet impactful: 

If the group successfully raises FJ$40,000 by the end of October, all participating colleagues will shave their heads.  

If they fall short of their target, their hair will be saved, but all funds raised will still be donated to WOWS Kids Fiji. 

The campaign boasts a dedicated team of participants across all departments of the three hotels, including the IHG Management team, department heads and team members, all passionate about making a difference. The group also features a cohort of inspiring female participants. These 19 participants are IHG superheroes determined to raise funds for this incredibly worthy cause.  

“We are deeply grateful for the support of colleagues from FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels as they embark on the SHAVE IT OR SAVE IT campaign. Their commitment reflects the spirit of unity and compassion that drives us to provide essential support to children and families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. Together, we can make a significant impact and bring hope to these young warriors.” commented Sina Kami, Co-Founder of WOWS Kids Fiji.
