Maui Businesses to Support

Ledcor Cares 2023!

Ledcor Maui is proud to partner with local retail/activity businesses including Tanoa, Hi-Tech/Shapers, Trilogy, Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center, and Maui Gold Pineapple for its inaugural Makana nō nā Keiki annual fundraiser for Maui youth.

Together Ledcor Maui and its business partners will provide gifts and experiences to Maui youth from three local charitable organizations that 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.

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.

Ledcor Maui’s Makana nō 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.

Grown on the slopes of Maui’s Haleakalā where the days are warm and the evenings cool, Maui Gold pineapples enjoy fresh water and nutrient-rich volcanic soil. Hand-harvested to ensure they’re picked at their peak ripeness, our pineapples are prized for their superior sweetness, high levels of Vitamin C and low acidity.
