Imua Family Services will proudly present the fifth annual Fantasia Ball fundraiser on Saturday, March 26, at 6 p.m. in the Monarchy Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Maui in Kaanapali.

This year, the Fantasia Ball is themed “Hollywood.” Guests will be welcomed to an elegant affair complete with red carpet entrance, 180-degree video opportunities, and a cocktail reception followed by a spectacular, chef-inspired dinner.

There will be a stunning program celebrating the lives of Maui’s keiki with Hollywood glamour-inspired dance and musical entertainment.

Presentations from Mayor Alan Arakawa and from the office of the governor of Hawaii are expected.

This year’s featured Fantasia Ball performer is Hollywood actress and Broadway star Megan Hilty.
