Each light will be displayed along the Light March route as a symbol of remembrance and support. Net proceeds will benefit the Aloha Amplified Community Support Fund, which will provide assistance to those impacted by the Lahaina wildfire based on need.
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, the Lights for Lahaina “Light March” will illuminate a path from Puʻunoa Beach through historic Lahaina Town with hundreds of lights offered in remembrance, healing, resilience, and hope. Presented by Aloha Amplified, Inc., this annual gathering honors Lahaina’s story and creates a meaningful space for reflection, connection, and aloha.
From Maui to around the world, all who care about Lahaina are invited to be part of this moment. By purchasing a light, you can send your love, prayers, memories, and support to Lahaina as our community continues to heal.

Aloha Amplified, Inc. is a Maui-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening community connection, cultural understanding, and resilience across Hawaiʻi. Through events, storytelling, outreach, and community-centered programs, Aloha Amplified creates meaningful opportunities to uplift local voices, support healing, and bring people together with aloha.
Aloha Amplified is committed to supporting the Lahaina community by helping provide resources, programs and services that benefit residents from keiki to kūpuna. We recognize that the needs within our community are diverse, and we believe meaningful support should be guided by care, accountability and community perspective.
Funds received through the Aloha Amplified Community Support Fund may support educational programs, cultural activities, health and wellness services, youth and kūpuna initiatives, community events, school and nonprofit needs, and other efforts that strengthen Lahaina’s recovery and long-term well-being.
A selection committee made up of community members will be formed to help determine how funds can best be disbursed based on community need, impact, urgency and alignment with Aloha Amplified’s mission.
One hundred percent of funds received will go toward this cause.
Aloha Amplified is committed to handling funds with care, transparency and accountability. General updates will be shared with the community to show how support is helping Lahaina residents, families and community organizations.
Our goal is to ensure that resources are directed where they can make a meaningful difference for Lahaina residents, families and community organizations.
Together, we can amplify the spirit of aloha and continue building a stronger, healthier and more resilient Lahaina community.
