Nestled in the second largest city of Okinawa, stands Phoenix Park Hotel, a luxurious hotel part of the Phoenix Corporation. This gorgeous hotel seeks to be a place where United States service members and their families can relax and enjoy Okinawan culture through their extravagant accommodations. Recently, owner Hawari Habrawi, presented a generous USO Proud Supporter donation of ¥1,000,000 to USO Okinawa Area Director, J. Phil VanEtten.

“Serving in the military is difficult and is full of unexpected twists and turns that we know can be challenging for families. At Phoenix Corporation, we want to do our part to support U.S. service members and their families when executing overseas orders or a deployment,” Phoenix Corporation owner, Hawari Habrawi shares. “I currently have a son serving in the United States Air Force and due to his current orders, we are unable to see him and his family very much. Because we know how challenging active-duty military life can be, we at Phoenix Corporation want to support the USO and their mission. The USO mission seeks to strengthen the well-being of America’s service members and their families and we are thrilled join along to support service members and their families.”

With the knowledge that service members and their families are thousands of miles away from their home and stateside family, Hawari and his team hopes that accommodations at Phoenix Park Hotel provides them an opportunity to experience and enjoy the local Okinawan culture. It’s location in the central part of Nago, provides an excellent opportunity to explore the northern part of the island all while enjoying the hospitality the luxurious hotel provides. The hotel’s property is surrounded by beautiful turquoise beaches, historical attractions, and delicious dining experiences.

Phoenix Corporation’s generous contribution to the USO Okinawa mission supports innovative and impactful programming for the U.S. military community during their time in Okinawa. Additionally, Phoenix Corporation’s substantial donation allows the footprint of USO Okinawa to step outside our military installations and to the various parts of the surrounding community.

“Our USO Okinawa mission continues to be extremely vital to the military commands we support as well as our U.S. service members in Okinawa, and their families. Operating in post pandemic years has come with some challenges, one of those being fewer sponsors to USO Okinawa. When sponsors like Phoenix Corporation make significant contributions to the USO, it means a great deal to us and how we deliver support to the commands in Okinawa, our service members, and their families,” said J. Phil VanEtten, USO Okinawa Area Director. “Sponsors like the Phoenix Corporation truly make a difference and helps us with our mission. The USO exists “for the people who serve” and the Phoenix Corporation helps us provide great center operations and programs to them.”

While executing overseas orders can be a challenging process, the Phoenix Park Hotel team seeks to ease the challenge by providing a gorgeous home away from home for U.S. service members and their families, particularly with their kind hospitality, breathtaking views, and easy reservation process.
