Ko‘olua Reception 2025

Ko‘olau Ballrooms

The Ko‘olua Reception serves as the Pauahi Foundation’s beloved annual gathering, celebrating the enduring legacy of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi. Each year, we bring together scholarship recipients, donors and community leaders to honor their shared commitment to uplift the lāhui through education and aloha.

This year’s event was a heartfelt reminder of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi’s vision in action—reflected in the generosity of our donors and the promise carried by our scholarship recipients. Together, we are cultivating a future rooted in ‘ike, culture, and kuleana.

To our donors: mahalo nui for your steadfast support and belief in Ke Ali‘i Pauahi’s mission.

To our recipients: you have earned these opportunities, and we look forward to watching you rise and lead with purpose.
