For the second consecutive year, the Maui Zipline Company is partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui during the month of May to provide free zipline activities to all Bigs and Littles enrolled in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

“It’s an honor to partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters for a second year in a row,” said Maui Zipline Company Manager Ala Summerlin in an announcement.

“This important non-profit is vital to the community of Maui and benefits our children. By partnering with them we hope to be a small part of enhancing their lives,” said Summerlin.

Under the program, free zipline activities for Bigs and Littles of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui are available from May 1 to May 31, 2015 at the Maui Zipline Company, located at the Maui Tropical Plantation in Waikapū.

JD Wyatt, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui Executive Director said Bigs are typically responsible for covering the cost of match activities and outings with their Littles.  To keep expenses at a minimum, BBBS recommends doing activities that are free, such as going to the beach or hiking.

“Now our Bigs and Littles can share this incredible adventure together, thanks to Maui Zipline Company. We are so thankful,” said Wyatt.
