We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Proceeds from the Signature Chefs Food Festival have brought a variety of fire prevention and public safety awareness programs to the community.

A key initiative funded through your support is an annual endowment to the Straub Burn Center. With this endowment, Straub Medical Center’s Burn Unit continues to invest in technology and training to bring state-of-the-art burn care to patients in Hawai‘i and across the Pacific Rim. This highly specialized care is provided by a dedicated multidisciplinary team at Straub, who often spend months with patients. In addition to technology and training, gifts support education of community first responders in ABLS – advanced burn life support – skills.

Your kind support and donations also help the City offer free admission to the wonderful HFD Museum on South Street, and to support other worthwhile events such as giving proper recognition to our HFD fire recruits as they graduate and join the firefighters throughout our fire stations who protect our community 24/7.

We Mahalo our supporters who continue to kokua for the cause.
