Keiki Gifted “Awesome" Shopping Experiences

Mahalo Tanoa and Shapers at Queen Kaʻahumanu Center and Hi-Tech Surf Shops in Kahului, Kīhei, and Pāʻia for partnering with Ledcor Maui in our Makana nō nā Keiki, our inaugural fundraiser drive.

“As someone who is Native Hawaiian and grew up in Hawai‘i, we feel truly blessed to be able to give back to the Maui community in this way,” said Cindy Forsgren, one of the owners of Tanoa. “We love Maui so much, and as a fairly new business on this island, it’s very important to us that the community, especially the keiki, know we are here to support them as they recover from this very challenging year.”

“A big mahalo to Ledcor Maui for allowing Shapers & Hi-Tech Surf Sports to be a part of this awesome event for our Maui children,” said Kim Ball, president, Hi-Tech Maui, Inc. “Being a local business, we love supporting great causes for our keiki.”

About Ledcor Cares: Begun in October 2023, the Makana nō nā Keiki program promised to match donations with corporate funding up to $30,000. Ledcor Maui employees and industry partners responded with more than $35,000 worth of donations. The match from Ledcor Corporation brought the figure close to $70,000, and a generous donor rounded the total up to $100,000. Three local charitable organizations were designated as the beneficiaries: Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui, Friends of the Children’s Justice Center of Maui, and Maui Youth & Family Services. These groups worked with Ledcor Maui to select which items were most needed and wanted by their youth members to support their health and wellness. Ledcor Maui’s Makana no nā Keiki annual fundraiser is a Ledcor Cares initiative, through the dedication and effort of Ledcor employees and partners. Over the past 10 years, Ledcor Cares has contributed $24 million to more than 200 charities nationwide, with a focus on children’s mental health, access to education, and community support.

Hi-Tech Surf Sports / Shapers: For more than 20 years, Hi-Tech Surf Shops in Kahului, Kīhei and Pāʻia as well as Shapers at the Queen Kaʻahumanu Center have stayed on the cutting edge of board-riding technology, by providing an array of quality equipment from the industry’s leading shapers and designers. From sails to sunscreen, Hi-Tech / Shapers sells everything one needs for some serious playtime in the water. But beyond years of selling merchandise, Hi-Tech / Shapers have been a time-tested supporter of Maui’s surfing community. The shop sponsors several amateur surfers, and owner Kim Ball is leading the fight to have public schools sanction surfing as an interscholastic sport. www.surfmaui.com
