Rebuilding Maui
August 8, 2023, is a date that forever changed the island of Maui and the state of Hawai‘i. The largest natural disaster in state history tragically left thousands of residents homeless, claimed over 100 lives, and destroyed businesses and much of the historic town of Lahaina.
In partnership with 501(c)3 organizations Spare for Change and Member for a Day, a fundraising campaign has been launched around the Kā‘anapali Classic to benefit Kā‘anapali Golf Courses' own associates who tragically lost everything in the fires. The campaign has no minimum donation. Everyone is invited to assist in one of two ways:
• Make a one-time contribution of your choice.
• Pledge the amount of your choice for each birdie and eagle made by your favorite school.
Scores and fundraising updates will be shared after each round. The 2023 Kā‘anapali Classic surpassed $10,000 in donations from teams, parents, alumni, and golf fans.
