Kalei & Leilani's Ke Kukui Foundation Fundraiser

Ke Kukui Foundation is very near & dear to our hearts. KKF and its cultural programs has provided us with a community of learning & aloha here in the PNW. Kalei began dancing hula 7 years ago at the age of 3 and has had tremendous growth in her confidence and overcoming her anxieties. I joined Kalei on this hula journey 5 years ago and I could not be happier that I did. I spend every Saturday morning now teaching keiki hula to our haumana (students) age 3-13 and it fills my heart with so much joy to see their growth. I also serve on the board for Ke Kukui Foundation, which I joined in 2021. Through KKF we have found a community of amazing people who fill our life with aloha, and lifelong friends, who have become ohana. Our whole family, including Jake & Junior, volunteer countless hours every year to help bring our annual event, 4 Days of Aloha, to life. It has helped build character for our children and taught them how important it is to give back to our community. In 2024, after having to close our cultural space due to COVID, we were able to open a new cultural center to provide a space for our community to gather, learn and grow together. With your help we will be able to continue preserving the Hawaiian culture, foster creativity and build community. 

Mahalo nui for your continued support! Any amount that you are able to contribute helps, even just $1! 

'A'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia. No task is too big when done together by all.
