Mahalo to Our Paddle Imua 2025 Sponsors – Powered by Aloha

As we prepare to launch the 14th Annual Paddle Imua, we want to send a wave of gratitude to the incredible sponsors who make this event possible. Paddle Imua isn’t just a race—it’s a celebration of inclusion, courage, and community, supporting Imua Family Services’ work with children with special needs. And it all happens thanks to the generosity and heart of our sponsors.

From the start line at Maliko Gulch to the finish at Hawaiian Canoe Club, these partners help create a safe, welcoming, and high-energy experience that brings together athletes, families, volunteers, and our Camp Imua keiki.

We begin with a big mahalo to our airline partners Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines for helping our paddlers, supporters, and extended ohana travel to Maui with ease and aloha. Your continued support lifts Paddle Imua to new heights.

We’re also grateful to Maui Health and Minit Medical, who understand that health and healing extend beyond the clinic—out into the community, onto the ocean, and into the lives of our keiki.

Our media partner Pacific Media Group helps spread the word across the islands, ensuring our message of inclusion and empowerment is heard loud and clear. And Pasha Hawaii plays a vital role in keeping our islands—and our events—connected.

The Stable Road Foundation continues to help us build a strong foundation for Paddle Imua’s future, and we are incredibly thankful for their belief in the power of this event.

A special thank you also goes out to Makena Golf & Beach Resort who is the finish line sponsor at this year’s event. This allows our Camp Imua campers and their families to pass out lei and water to all of our racers. This interaction between athletes and special needs children truly brings the stoke to finish line every year.

We’re also thrilled to partner with Four Seasons Resort Maui and the Paia Youth & Cultural Center (PYCC) for this year’s racer meals. Their delicious and nourishing food is sure to power our paddlers from the finish line to the festivities. Also be on the lookout for Maui Oma Coffee at the check-in and Pauwela Beverage Company at ‘Ohana Festival after the finish.

We also extend our gratitude to Aloha Mixed Plate, Armstrong Foils, Boardriding Maui, Deep Relief Peak Performance, DeSilva Meeting Consultants, Humu Surf, Island Sotheby’s International Realty’s Mino McLean and Sam Utley, and Zadok Brown for helping us bring the Paddle Imua vision to life—your dedication, generosity, and community spirit shine in everything you do.

And last but not least, a special shout-out goes to ʻOhana Fuels, who keep our safety team fueled up and mission-ready on the water. Their support ensures our athletes stay protected throughout the entire course.

Paddle Imua is all about connection—between athlete and keiki, ocean and ohana, purpose and play. With the support of these outstanding sponsors, we move forward with strength, heart, and aloha.

From all of us at Imua Family Services, mahalo nui loa for paddling this journey with us. Let’s make 2025 the best year yet!
