Aloha and Mabuhay!
Aloha and Mabuhay!
You’re invited to celebrate with us the most prestigious awards night honoring citizens from Maui’s Filipino community on the upcoming Gintong Pamana Leadership & Scholarship Awards. This signature event returns at the Maui Beach Hotel on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. with dinner, entertainment and a night of inspiration.
Since 1995, the Maui Filipino Chamber of Commerce has honored and paid tribute to leaders of our community with outstanding achievement in the areas of public service, music & arts, medicine, law, education, community service and more. We are now accepting nominations to deserving, yet sometimes, unsung heroes who gave unselfishly of their time, talents and treasures to our island home.
This year, the theme Galing at Giting (Excellence and Courage) celebrates our leaders who have risen above adversity and have embodied hope – leaders who shine their light amidst today’s grim headlines. If anyone has inspired you because of they are magaling at magiting, we hope you nominate them here: bit.ly/GintongPamana2022
On this same evening, the Maui Filipino Chamber of Commerce Foundation will award scholarships at $1,000 each to select High School seniors and $1,000 to a recipient from Maui Culinary Academy at the University of Hawaii Maui College. This is a memorable gathering you don’t want to miss and a rare occasion to wear your barong or to strut your dazzling Filipiana attire.
We invite you to partner with us and support our mission by becoming one of our sponsors, by placing business advertising or a congratulatory greeting in our Event Program, by becoming a member of the Chamber, or by purchasing tickets from mauifilipinochamber.com.
We look forward to welcoming you at the awards night.
