Description
This year will mark our 29th annual Lū’au. Through our Lūʻau, we exhibit traditional Hawaiian food, dance, and of course the aloha spirit that is so evident in our community. The Lū’au provides the Hawaii Club with the opportunity to share our love and appreciation with the rest of the community and by doing so we hope to break the stereotypes that have been placed on Hawai’i.
We are looking to raise $5,000 to help us cover the costs of the Lū’au. Your gift will support everything from entertainment, food, decorations and other miscellaneous supplies. With your support the club can plan a Lū’au that is close to being true and authentic to what we celebrate back home with music, live entertainment and the delicious foods.

The Hawai’i Club is excited to bring back our annual Lū’au!
This year will mark our 29th annual Lū’a. Through our lūʻau, we exhibit traditional Hawaiian food, dance, and of course the aloha spirit that is so evident in our community. The Lū’au provides the Hawaii Club with the opportunity to share our love and appreciation with the rest of the community and by doing so we hope to break the stereotypes that has been placed on Hawai’i.
The Lū’au is an amazing planning experience for students and Hawai’I Club members with the support of professional staff. The planning and coordination of such a large event gives students the opportunity to gain and refine skills in leadership, team building, problem solving and so much more that benefit them in their future careers.
But we need your help.
We are looking to raise $5,000 to help us cover the costs of the Lū’au. Your gift will support everything from entertainment, food, decorations and other miscellaneous supplies. With your support the club can plan a Lū’au that is close to being true and authentic to what we celebrate back home with music, live entertainment and the delicious foods.
We hope you will consider making a gift and supporting this fun and educational annual event!
P.S. You can also help support the Hawai’i Club and Lū’au by donating Hawai’i goodies that we can sell at our Country Store during the Lū’au. The money that we make from the Country Store helps cover the costs of our socials and programming throughout the year. Due to the COVID pandemic we have been unable to host the Lū’au and raise the money we need to support our socials.

"Attending the annual Lū’au is a once in a lifetime experience that cannot be replicated. It is not only the Hawaiian food, entertainment, and concessions that make Lū’au unique, but it would also be the memories you make with others that makes it a once in a lifetime experience."
