Paddle for Life: Honoring Our Top Teams and Fundraisers
In just a little over two weeks, our canoes will launch from Maui to Lāna‘i for the 16th Annual Paddle for Life. Together, we’ve already raised over $224,000 toward our $300,000 goal — an incredible show of generosity and aloha for our cancer community.
Today, we’re excited to celebrate our top fundraising teams and individuals. Their stories reflect the true heart of Paddle for Life, and in the days ahead we’ll be sharing more voices from the canoe with you.
100 Days Until Paddle for Life
More than a race or a challenge, Paddle for Life is a voyage of purpose. This October, over 450 paddlers will cross the ‘Au‘au Channel in honor of loved ones, raising critical funds for cancer patients and families across Maui County. Registration is open, teams are forming, and a new video from ʻOhana Films captures the spirit of this unforgettable journey. Watch now and join us.
