Mahalo to the SJ Foundation and Waikīkī SPAM JAM®

We’re thrilled to share some uplifting news from our community center! Thanks to a generous $10,000 donation from the SJ Foundation through the Waikīkī SPAM JAM®, we are better equipped to serve our keiki, kūpuna, and families across the island — every single day. This amazing contribution helps sustain our essential programs — from financial support to educational workshops, cultural activities, and safe spaces for connection. As a nonprofit that relies on community support, it's generosity like this that keeps our mission going strong.

We extend our heartfelt mahalo to Barbara Campbell, Lisa Ann Asakura, and all of the event sponsors and supporters — including Elite Parking Hawaii, Outrigger Resorts, and the entire Waikīkī SPAM JAM® team — for their unwavering commitment to community care.
