  • Post your event on our events calendar at www.hugshawaii.org or through social media

  • Provide brochures or other informational materials on HUGS, as needed

Hold a Fundraising Event

Thank you for your interest in choosing to name HUGS as a designated charity of an event. HUGS' success depends on the initiative and support of businesses, large and small, as well as individuals. Each dollar that you raise will support families from the time of their child's initial diagnosis of a serious illness, during treatment and beyond. We are grateful for your desire to host a special event and designate proceeds or donate a percentage of sales to HUGS. Past events have included golf tournaments, charity walks, new store or restaurant openings, in-store promotions, chef's dinners, galas, bake sales, birthday fundraisers, and more.

We would love to meet with you, give you a tour of our HUGS House or discuss options for third-party events. Please email us at info@hugshawaii.org
or call 808-380-6924.
