Maui Humane Society Fur Ball Charity Event

South Maui Homes and Condos

Animal lovers from South Maui and the rest of the island have an excellent reason to dress up for an exquisite night of socializing, dancing and celebrating: The Maui Humane Society Fur Ball! Attending the Fur Ball isn't only a fabulous way to spend an evening with other like-minded pet enthusiasts, the money raised by this event supports the Maui Humane Society (MHS). In turn MHS will be able to provide medicine, spays, neuters, food and shelter for rescued and abandoned pets, until they are adopted by their forever home.

The Fur Ball will take place at the Grand Wailea's luxurious, 28,000-square-foot Haleakala Ballroom. The festivities begin at 5:00pm on Saturday, February 25th, and proceed until 11:00pm. The after party will move from the ballroom to the Tsunami Night Club, also located on the premises of the Grand Wailea. Guests may choose to leave the main event and head to the nightclub as early as 9:30pm. Dancing at the club will continue until 2:00am. Only guests 21 years of age and older will be admitted into the Tsunami Night Club and ID will be checked at the door.

The theme for this celebratory gathering of animal lovers is Senior Prom: Happily Ever After. This is a black-tie formal event that accepts prom fashion from any and every decade, from sleek to sequins to ruffles. Powder blue suits welcome!

Seating at the Fur Ball is limited and tickets purchased individually will receive assigned seating. If you'd like to group up and sit with your friends, we recommend purchasing a table. Tickets to the Fur Ball including admission to Tsunami Night Club is $150, tickets to the Fur Ball Ballroom (not including Tsunami Night Club) are $135, and tickets to the Fur Ball After-Party at Tsunami Night Club (not including Ballroom) are $25. If you're interested in bringing a group of people, tickets for an entire table of 10 are $1400 and include admission for all 10 guests to the Tsunami Night Club. A table of 10, without admission to the night club is $1,250. A portion of every ticket is tax deductible.

If you have any questions about attending the Fur Ball, call (808) 877-3680 ext. 32. Tickets can be purchased online at www.mauihumane.org. This is just one of many wonderful community events taking place in South Maui. If you are interested in becoming a resident with a real estate purchase, we recommend a look at Wailea homes. If you need assistance, you'll find our contact information at the bottom of the page. Mahalo!

Hawaii Tourism Authority Supports Maui Events

hawaii tourism authority

Several Maui events and programs have received supportive funding from the Hawaii Tourism Authority. This program, put into effect in 2002, was created to ensure that the Hawaiian islands would have plenty of cultural and entertaining events, year round, to enrich and support the tourism industry. The support of locally produced events contributes to Hawaiian jobs, visitor attraction and boosts the economy as a whole.

Some of the events in Maui County that will be receiving this funding are the following: Pacific Whale Foundation's World Whale Day on February 18, the Maui Classical Music Festival from May 3 to 11, Ebb & Flow Arts' North South East West Festival on June 23 and July 14 and 28, Ki-ho'alu Foundation's 21st Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Festival on June 24, Maui Academy of Performing Arts' Summer Under the Stars: Disney's Beauty & the Beast from July 13 to 28, Maui Arts and Cultural Center's Ku Mai Ka Hula on September 8, Valley Isle Road Runner's 42nd Maui Marathon from September 15 to 16, and Lahaina Restoration Foundation's Hawaiian Music Series, which will occur throughout the year.

The Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) is a state agency that is responsible for setting tourism policy and direction while upholding sustainable growth for Hawaii's economy, developing and implementing tourism marketing plans, managing programs, events and activities to support the visitor industry, as well as conducting tourism-related research, promotional and outreach activities with both public and private sectors. The HTA was established in 1998.

Maui County will be receiving support for about 24 events during 2012. As a whole, the State of Hawaii will see over 100 events funded. A healthy visitor industry means a healthy Maui economy. Hopefully, we'll see continued economic improvements for our island and our state.

Hawaiian Storytelling at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center
Experience the legend of Maui preformed in storytelling, chant and dance.

Hawaiian Storytelling at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center

Real Estate Maui HawaiiIt is difficult to choose a favorite thing about living in South Maui. Whether you favor the warm climate, the warm water, or the warm culture, it's simpler just to say, "Maui no ka oi," meaning Maui is the best. There is something special about our beloved island, and it's no wonder- it shares the name of a Hawaiian demigod. 

On Sunday, January 22, the Maui Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) will be presenting the Storytelling Festival: Maui, Hina & Ka Hana Kapa. This event will be performed the traditional Hawaiian way, in dance, chant and the art of storytelling. Hawaiian myths and legends are beautifully complex and intricately woven tales of shape-shifting gods and goddesses and the mortal Hawaiians who came in contact with them. The stories themselves can enrich one's knowledge of our islands, educate us to the meanings of the names of many familiar locations, and remind us of the beauty and wisdom that is the core of Hawaiian culture.

This particularly famous legend will follow the demigod, Maui, as he cleverly catches the sun to slow its journey in the sky so that his mother Hina's kapa (bark cloth) could dry.

The presentation is being performed by Pa'u O Hi'iaka, under the direction of Kumu Hula Hokulani Holt.

This event is free of charge, so if you plan on being in Kahului on the 22nd, this may be a fun and enriching way to spend part of your afternoon. The 45 minute show begins at 3:00pm at The Pa. 

The Maui Arts and Cultural Center has brought us stunning events and concerts since 1994. For more information on this event, call 242-7469 or visit www.mauiarts.org. The MACC is located in Kahului, between the UH Maui College campus and Keopuolani Park, on One Cameron Way.
