The Ripple Effect of Your Generosity
When you contribute tonight, you're not just supporting a museum – you're investing in lōkahi, the harmony that comes from understanding our interconnected stories. You're ensuring that a child from Waiʻanae can stand where missionaries first printed the Hawaiian language. You're preserving the voices of Kaʻahumanu, Kamehameha III, and countless others whose wisdom spans centuries.
Your gift tonight will echo through generations, fostering the deeper understanding and appreciation that leads to true harmony in our island home. Every dollar donated creates ripples of learning, discovery, and connection that extend far beyond our historic walls.
E kōkua mai – please help us continue this vital work. Together, we can ensure that all of Hawaiʻi's children can discover their shared heritage and carry forward the spirit of aloha that unites us all.
Mahalo nui loa for your consideration and support.
