Support the Vision
Behind "Lights for Lahaina"

Lights for Lahaina is more than a one-day event—it’s a meaningful opportunity to support a community-led movement of remembrance, resilience, and connection.

Your sponsorship directly supports a shared vision for healing and unity. From cultural programming and storytelling to community outreach and access, your contribution helps create a space for reflection, reconnection, and hope.

This grassroots effort is guided by Mālama Maui ʻOhana Foundation and Aloha Amplified, Inc., with the goal of empowering the Lahaina community while honoring its past and lighting a path forward.

Your Support Will Help:

  • Distribute Lights for Lahaina Illumination Kits to families impacted by the wildfire
  • Fund cultural components and community-based programming
  • Provide logistical coordination and ensure the August 8th event is safe, memorable and accessible
  • Keep the event free and open to the public

Whether you're contributing in honor of loved ones, in support of Lāhainā’s continued recovery, or simply to stand with the community, your support helps make this event possible.
