KUKUI ʻĀ MAU

We Need Your Kōkua to Keep the Light Burning

For over two decades, Ke Kukui Foundation and 4 Days of Aloha have served as a lifeline for Hawaiian culture in the Pacific Northwest—preserving traditions, uplifting Native Hawaiian voices, and creating a home for our community, far from home.

 

Today, our impact continues to grow—but so have the costs to sustain our programs, cultural center, and festival operations. Without immediate financial support, this legacy is at risk.

Your kōkua is essential to ensure that this light never fades.

 

How You Can Support

When you invite our hula practitioners and musicians into your space, you are welcoming the heartbeat of our culture. Our performances are not just entertainment—they are living teachings passed down through generations. By booking with us, you uplift our cultural practitioners and directly support the continuation of hula, mele, and oli in our community.

Each workshop is a doorway into ancestral knowledge and community connection. Your participation directly funds the cultural center, provides income to kumu (teachers), and ensures our community continues to have a place to gather, learn, and connect.

A lei is more than adornment—it is a symbol of aloha, woven with intention and meaning. When you order lei through Ke Kukui Foundation, you are supporting cultural continuity and honoring the hands who carry forward this tradition. Every lei purchase contributes to our ability to teach, create, and share Hawaiian culture with the world.

Your kōkua is an offering to the lāhui (our Hawaiian people), ensuring that our cultural fire continues to burn brightly across generations. Every dollar supports the survival of our programs, our cultural home, and the next generation of practitioners.
