In Support of Maui (8/23/2023 Update)
August 23, 2023
Our hearts are with our Hawaiian neighbors as the people of Maui battle
devastating wildfires fueled by hurricane winds. We are in contact with our
island community partners, asking for an update on their well-being and how
we can support them during this distressing time.
If you would like to provide financial support to help cover essential
needs, reputable resources are listed below.
Please keep the people of Maui in your thoughts and prayers as they await
relief, particularly the first responders and community organizers who are
working relentlessly to secure medical care and safe refuge for those in
need.
Note: We will update this list should additional resources come to our
attention.
8/23/2023 UPDATE: Information from local authorities say that Hawaiʻi, Maui included, is in need of economic support - including tourism - to rebuild and support local residents. Given these updates, we will proceed with CHEST 2023 as planned, including the Master Classes taking place in the southern region on Maui in Wailea following the annual meeting.
CHEST encourages attendees to visit respectfully while keeping in mind that locals are still recovering from the impact of the fires including the lives lost and those who have been displaced. While in Hawaiʻi, please consider patronizing locally owned establishments and please continue to support the organizations listed above. More information on returning to Maui and Hawaiʻi can be found here.
