In the wake of the devastating Maui wildfires that have claimed nearly 100 lives and caused extensive damage across the island, a benefit concert is being organized to support the victims and aid in the recovery efforts. The Wiwo`ole Maui Benefit Concert, scheduled to take place on August 19th, will feature a lineup of celebrated recording artists and halau, showcasing the healing power of music in times of crisis.

The concert will be live-streamed from the Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, and will be accessible to viewers worldwide. The event is presented by Grand Wailea, The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, KITV4 News, Pacific Media Group, and will be emceed by Malika Dudley. Proceeds from the concert will be directed to Native Hawaiian 501(c)(3) 'Aina Momona and the Maui Strong Fund at The Hawai'i Community Foundation.

Maui holds significant historical and cultural value to Hawai`i, and the devastation caused by the wildfires has left communities in pain and mourning. The benefit concert aims to bring people together and provide the support and resources needed to rebuild and recover.

As the deadliest wildfire in US history in over a century, the impact of the Maui wildfires is far-reaching.
