Seeds of Hope Benefit Concert – June 13, 2026

On Saturday, June 13, 2026, Pūʻā Foundation hosted the Seeds of Hope Benefit Concert at the historic Hilo Palace Theater. A celebratory gathering that was rooted in uplifting the restoration and resilience of our ʻōhiʻa forests, the ʻāina and wai.

A beautiful evening of sharing: hula - chant & dance, and music - mele & song. We are thankful to all the sponsors, donors and contributors, including all the educational booth participants, and vendors, as well as the hula hālau that performed, with a special mahalo to Kekuhi, her musicians, and ohana - all in support of Hawaiʻi’s native forests and the Punahoa Heritage Forest.

For ʻōhiʻa. For our forests. For our community. Ulu ka ʻōhiʻa - E Ola!
