Hānau Kana, He ʻĀkoʻakoʻa, Puka : A Fundraising Farm Dinner

Join us at Mākena Golf & Beach Club on June 27, 2026, for Hānau Kana, He ʻĀkoʻakoʻa, Puka a special fundraising dinner to celebrate the vital work of the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council (MNMRC) and Hui o ka Wai Ola (HOKWO). The evening will highlight the vital work both organizations are doing to monitor water quality, restore coral reefs, and protect the coastal ecosystems that sustain Maui Nui. The evening also celebrates a major milestone. 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of Hui o ka Wai Ola, a community-driven program that has strengthened public understanding of Maui’s nearshore waters.​

Hānau kana, he ʻākoʻakoʻa, puka meaning “Born was the coral, it rises,” honors coral as the foundation of the islands and reflects the deep interconnectedness between Hawai‘i’s people, the ocean, and the environment. The evening will feature a farm-to-table meal, opportunity to tour the farm, live entertainment from Wailua Ryder and Marja Lehua Apisaloma, and sunset views over the ocean.

​All proceeds from the event will benefit the honorees. Tickets are available for indiviudals, or as an event table sponsor (10 seats) with your logo and support added to the event website and program.
