Luna Strong

The Downtown Athletic Club of Hawaii is spearheading a Luna Strong fundraising campaign to assist with the following:

  • Raise funds to replace the sports equipment/supplies lost by the 450 Lahainaluna High School student-athletes whose homes were destroyed in the fires, such as football cleats, basketball shoes, tennis racquets, and baseball/softball bats (note: Lahainaluna’s total enrollment is 1,000 students and it’s the oldest school west of the Rockies (established in 1831)).
  • Raise funds to support the 40 Lahainaluna coaches who lost their homes in the fires, particularly those who’ve coached there for 25+ years.
  • Cover the entire cost of state tournament travel for all Lahainaluna teams that qualify for state tournaments this school year.
  • Sell “Luna Strong” t-shirts, with all proceeds going towards the Luna Strong fundraising campaign. Sae Design Group’s Saedene Ota of Wailuku designed the t-shirt.
  • All funds received will be collected by DACH and disbursed in consultation with the Lahainaluna Athletics Department and school administration.
