We are honored to introduce “Ua Ikea,” a benefit dinner on May 24th honoring local organizations Hui Noʻeau and Maui Nui Botanical Gardens.

Ua Ikea can be interpreted as something is known, seen, or has appeared. We are greatly inspired by the work of Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, Hui Noʻeau Visual Arts Center, and our Mākena ʻŌiwi Resources & Stewardship Department to bring our native plants back into spaces where we can see and know them again, where we can exclaim ʻua ikea.’ We invite our community to celebrate and further support these important community organizations in restoring and expressing ecosystem wellbeing.

The Ua Ikea benefit dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will include delicious food and drink, live entertainment by Marja Lehua Apisaloma & Wailau Ryder, and beautiful views of Puʻu Ōlaʻi and Kahoʻolawe. Reservations are required with limited seating available. 

All proceeds from the event will benefit the honorees. For reservations or more information, visit https://www.makenainfo.com/ua-ikea-dinner
