Maui Economic Opportunity is accepting table sponsorships from candidates for public office for the 54^th Kūpuna Aloha Luncheon, set for July 25 at the Grand Wailea.

MEO is handling sponsorships and event coordination for the Maui County Senior Planning & Coordinating Council. 

The event annually draws more than 400 kūpuna from across the island and provides an opportunity for candidates to meet Maui County seniors. 

Forty tables are available—on a first-come, first-served basis—and priority will be given to candidates with MEO accommodating annual supporters.

The cost for a table is $200 and includes one meal ticket. Additional meal tickets may be purchased for $55 each.

For more than five decades, the gathering has been an opportunity for kūpuna to meet candidates in-person, enjoy a formal hotel buffet lunch and catch-up with old friends.

Guests will begin arriving at the Grand Wailea Haleakalā Ballroom at 8 a.m. with tables set up and ready by 7:45 a.m. The event concludes at 12:30 p.m.

June 19 is the deadline to register and submit payment for a sponsorship table.
