Kokua for Kupuna also includes a savory dinner buffet, two hosted drinks, silent auction with over 100 fabulous items from local retailers and restaurants, and door prizes. Guests will have a chance to win a chartered fishing trip for ten on Maui Jim Sunglasses’ exclusive boat for a suggested donation of $20. Free roundtrip bus transportation from Kahului is available.

This year’s theme, Vintage Aloha, will celebrate the event’s 26th year and recognize individuals and businesses in the community whose commitment to Hale Makua Health Services has helped the organization to sustain a 68-year legacy of providing care to those who have no one to care for them and no means to pay for care.
