In the spirit of Disney’s beloved tale of friendship and belonging, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur recently brought the magic of Aloha Summer beyond the mall’s walls, treating 120 underprivileged children to an unforgettable day filled with joy, laughter and the warmth of family.
The heartwarming initiative, part of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s “Charity at Heart” CSR programme, brought together children from Yayasan Sunbeams and Praise Emmanuel Children’s Home during the school holidays – beautifully embodying Lilo & Stitch’s powerful message that “ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind”.
The special day transformed Pavilion Kuala Lumpur into a playground of possibilities. The children began their morning with an exclusive screening of Disney’s beloved classic, following the mischievous blue alien’s touching journey of connection. The magic continued with a sumptuous lunch buffet at the foyer of Dadi Cinema, followed by interactive fun at the Centre Court’s vibrant “Aloha Summer” booths.
“We believe every child deserves to feel seen, celebrated and loved,” shared Dato’ Joyce Yap, Chief Executive Officer (Retail) of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
“This wasn’t just about hosting an event – it was about creating memories that remind these children they belong, and that there’s always a place for them in our hearts.”
The day was enriched through significant collaborations with KidsUnited Asia and CustomLab. As a multi-brand kid-wear retailer dedicated to stylish yet comfortable outfits for little ones, KidsUnited Asia brought flair to the event by providing high-quality, trendy tote bags. In seamless partnership, CustomLab – a creative studio known for its bespoke design solutions – brought the Disney magic to life by pre-customising each tote bag with the children’s names, ensuring every child received a personalised keepsake to treasure.
The children also participated in an energetic tropical dance workshop led by the teachers of Curiouser Malaysia, encouraging them to embrace movement, rhythm and pure fun. Adding a sweet touch, Frost n Bite delighted the children with complimentary scoops of ice cream – spreading even more smiles all around.
As the children departed with beaming faces and hearts full of joy, the true ohana spirit came to life. The event serves as a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can create lasting impact, reflecting Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s unwavering commitment through its Charity at Heart programme to ensure no child in the community is left behind while fostering meaningful experiences that strengthen bonds and uplift lives.
The “Aloha Summer” campaign runs until 15 June 2025, offering families more opportunities to enjoy an eventful school holiday experience.
