Mahalo to Our Cargo Sponsor — Alaska Airlines   

The annual 51�Թ� Lūʻau & Hōʻike is proudly sponsored by Alaska Airlines for our Cargo shipment. Each year, hundreds of boxes filled with cultural items, decorations, and donations are shipped from all the islands to Oregon, courtesy of Alaska Airlines' generosity.

This partnership is a tremendous support to our students and their families, helping make the Lūʻau & Hō’ike possible as one of our largest annual fundraisers.
