Your Silent Auction Donation Makes History Come Alive

This September 12th, our Huakaʻi celebration at The Royal Hawaiian Resort Waikiki isn't just a beautiful evening—it's a lifeline for educational programs that welcome nearly 3,000 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 care for our reconstructed hale pili, where haumāna learn through immersive cultural experiences. You're preserving access to an archive holding one of the world's most extensive Hawaiian-language collections—including the Aliʻi Letters Project, scanned and free to read online.

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 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 15+ Poʻokela 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).

Ready to be part of this journey?

Once received, your donation becomes the property of Hawaiian Mission Houses, and the donor relinquishes their rights to the item. Our staff will be in touch to coordinate drop-off. If you're able to send photos of your silent auction donation, that would be greatly appreciated—please send to: giftshop@missionhouses.org
