1,000 Native Trees for Kūkaniloko
Sponsor a tree for yourself or someone or some place that you love...
In furtherance of our mission, the Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā, HCCW, has embarked on an initiative to reforest Kūkaniloko beginning with the planting of 1,000 native trees. To assist with our reforestation efforts and ongoing maintenance of the site, HCCW has launched the Trees for Kūkaniloko (TFK) program. For a gift of $40 or more, you can help to protect and preserve this wahi kapu by having a tree planted in your name; in dedication of another person; or for a favorite or special place. HCCW will plant these trees and nurture them. You or your designated honoree will receive a Certificate of Commemoration recognizing that person or place you have honored in the forest.
*Note: You have the option of sponsoring a single (1) tree, a grove of (3) trees, or a grove of (5) trees for each sponsorship. You or your designee will receive a Certificate recognizing your contribution. Unfortunately, our system does not support the registration of multiple sponsorships at one time. If you would like to honor multiple people with a sponsorship, you will need to complete and submit a separate form for each person/sponsorship. Therefore, after submitting the initial form, you will be asked if you wish to "Submit another form" before you exit. Use this feature to sign up for additional sponsorships. After each submission, you will receive an email confirmation with instructions on how to make your payment. Certificates will be issued following receipt of your sponsorship payments.
If you have any questions about filling out the registration form, about making your payment, or anything at all about this initiative, please contact us at hccwahiawa@gmail.com and we will be happy to guide you. Mahalo nunui. EO

Mo‘olelo- traditional comprehension - reflects continuous preparation for the next seven generations. Every thought, word and deed has at its foundation: mālama ʻāina - respect the family, the land; mālama kilipue kūpuna ma - respect those whom we choose to follow; and mālama kanaka mauli - respect those who are centered by and through the spirit of aloha, the greatest truth of all. All this, in anticipation of those who have yet to come.
The past is always present, therefore, ALOHA is forever ... and FOREVER is the old way of our ancients. Our responsibility is to individually and collectively guard, educate, preserve, and perpetuate Kūkaniloko. Instilled in us is this wisdom of our ancients:
Mai ma'anei...listen, so you can see. We the family of this land, Pu‘uhonua Kūkaniloko, consciously choose, without hesitation or doubt, "to guard the kapu of Kūkaniloko because we love them for all time..." for the next seven generations to come, and thereafter, and thereafter, and thereafter, FOREVER.

The Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā Nonprofit seeks to inspire, educate and encourage all things Hawaiian, seen and unseen.
