Share the Spirit of Lōkahi: Your Silent Auction Donation Makes History Come Alive
This September 13th, our "Huakaʻi i Ka Lōkahi i Ke Ola" (Journey to Harmony in Life) celebration at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel isn't just a beautiful evening—it's a lifeline for educational programs that welcome schools and over 3,400 students annually to our National Historic Landmark site.
Your silent auction donation becomes part of something extraordinary.
When you contribute an item to our week-long online and day-of auction, you're not just supporting one evening. You're ensuring that Title I schools continue receiving scholarships and transportation assistance. You're helping us maintain our meticulously reconstructed 1823 hale pili o nā mikanele (traditional grass house) where students learn through immersive cultural experiences. You're preserving access to our archives housing over 80,000 digital pieces and one of the world's largest collections of Hawaiian language printed materials.
What makes your donation special?
Whether you offer a handcrafted Hawaiian treasure, a unique island experience, professional services, or a memorable adventure—your contribution will be featured alongside live entertainment by the legendary Alan Akaka & the Islanders and our award-winning history theatre performances. Guests will bid on your donation while celebrating the collaborative heritage that shaped these islands.
The ripple effect is profound.
Your auction item helps fund programs that have earned over 15 Po'okela Awards for Excellence. It supports our mission to foster understanding of Hawaiʻi's rich, complex history through aloha ʻāina (love for our land), aloha poʻe (love for our people), and aloha kūpuna (love for our ancestors).
