Like so many other nonprofits across Maui, the Pacific Cancer Foundation is being profoundly impacted by the wildfires that destroyed much of Lāhainā and damaged many other
areas across Maui, including Upcountry.

As a result, the foundation’s three major fundraising events, including the iconic Paddle for Life from Lāhainā to Lāna‘i, have been canceled this fall. These three fundraisers account for approximately 60% of the agency’s annual revenue.

The foundation leadership is reaching out to the public to support them in an effort to fill this financial gap. For more information on donating, visit: https://pacificcancerfoundation.org or call 808-242-7661.
