Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — The Hawaiʻi Pacific Parks Association (HPPA) has raised over $100k in support of national parks and historic sites in Hawaiʻi and American Samoa.

The “90 For 90” fundraising campaign has smashed goals for National Park support — raising $106,125 — well over the $90,000 target.

Since the founding of the HPPA in 1933, it has been a dedicated National Park Service partner with a mission to support the preservation, interpretation, and educational programs of national parks and historic sites in Hawaiʻi and American Samoa.

Over the past 90 years, HPPA has raised tens of millions of dollars to support vital national parks projects and programs.

“In 2023, to celebrate our 90th anniversary, we challenged ourselves to fundraise $90,000 in donations through our Maui and Hawaiʻi Island national park stores by December 31, 2023.”

That ambitious goal was met on December first, yet the organization continued to accept donations until December 31st, 2023, as planned. Having exceeded the original goal, the final donation amount going to our partner parks is: $106,125!

 “As we celebrate our 90th anniversary, we reflect on the incredible impact that HPPA has made over the past nine decades,” says HPPA Executive Director Mel Boehl. “We are grateful to our partners, supporters, and the dedicated staff who have helped us achieve our mission and ensure that our national parks are supported for generations to come.”
