Ledcor Maui & ʻĀina Momona Partner in Fundraiser
for Hoʻomau 2025
As we continue to honor Mahina ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian Language Month), Ledcor Maui and ‘Āina Momona are proud to announce their continued partnership in support of Ho‘omau 2025! Ho‘omau is an annual cultural event that raises critical funds for Pūnana Leo O Maui, a Hawaiian language immersion school which will take place on March 29, 2025.
Last year, the two organizations along with other local businesses and community partners raised $60,000 for Pūnana Leo O Maui. This year they are setting the ambitious goal to exceed this amount with their fundraising efforts.
“Ho‘omau is more than an event—it is an education movement that strengthens our connection to our language, land, and identity,” said Kayla Hoku Shaw, Molokai Program Manager for ‘Āina Momona.
Pūnana Leo o Maui Executive Director Kili Namau‘u notes that the support received from the partnership has been critical to supporting program operations, “Last year, we saw incredible generosity from our community, and this year, we are aiming even higher so we can send the clear message that our Hawaiian language not only lives but thrives.”
Ledcor Maui’s commitment to supporting local communities aligns with its ongoing efforts to invest in education, sustainability, and cultural preservation across Hawai‘i. Businesses, community leaders, and individuals are invited to contribute to the fundraiser.
“We are honored to once again support Ho‘omau and the students and families dedicated to perpetuating ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i,” said Eric Gerlach, Senior Vice President of Ledcor Maui. “We strongly believe our resources are most effective when focused on collaboration and community programming. We hope to continue these partnerships for the benefit of the Maui community, especially its children.”
The fundraiser will include corporate sponsorships, community donations, and special events leading up to Ho‘omau 2025. Those interested in contributing can visit https://bit.ly/hoomau2025 for more information on how to support.
