We warmly invite you to be a part of something truly meaningful—our 21st Annual Celebration of Life on Sunday, May 25, 2025 from 3pm to 7:30pm, at Reed’s Bay Beach Park in Hilo.

This free, deeply moving community event gathers over 2,500 residents and visitors each year to honor loved ones who have passed. Through oli, pule, mele, hula, Bon dance, lantern floating, and more, we celebrate lives and create space for healing across generations and cultures.

When you become a sponsor, you become a visible symbol of aloha and compassion—and your impact goes far beyond a single day. Sponsorships directly support our free community bereavement program, which provides professional grief support to local keiki and families navigating loss. No one should face grief alone, and thanks to donors like you, they don’t have to.

We offer four levels of sponsorship—each with unique visibility and engagement opportunities, such as:

• Business banner displayed at the event
• Recognition in print, digital, and social media
• Personalized mentions in public radio/TV ads
• Event-day perks like a Corporate Lantern and VIP parking

Please see the attached sponsorship form for full details. The deadline to commit is Friday, May 2, 2025.

Together, let’s continue this tradition of remembrance and healing—and make sure our community has the support it needs, at every stage of life and loss.
