This month’s Paia Friday Town Party on December 23 will also function as the fifth annual “Paia Gives” charity fundraiser.

Each year, “Paia Gives” raises thousands of dollars for local charities while providing entertainment and shopping deals for visitors.

Starting at 6 p.m., many Paia businesses will donate their proceeds from special sales to non-profit organizations across Maui.
