A Partnership with Purpose
Paddle for Life sponsorship is about more than logo placement.
Sponsors play an active role in supporting Maui County families facing cancer while helping share the story of a powerful community voyage rooted in connection, care, and cultural respect.
Funds raised through Paddle for Life support Pacific Cancer Foundation’s free programs and services, including patient navigation, transportation and lodging assistance, nutritional support, support groups, wellness services, and financial assistance.
Together, we are working toward a 2026 fundraising goal of $500,000 to continue providing essential support and resources to our cancer ʻohana across Maui, Lānaʻi, and Molokaʻi.

Why Paddle for Life?
Paddle for Life is more than a fundraising event. It is a voyage of hope and resilience that brings people together across Maui County.
Throughout the weekend, participants experience Hawaiian culture through paddling, ceremonies, chants, shared meals, and community involvement. Every mile honors those affected by cancer and strengthens the network of care surrounding patients, survivors, and caregivers.
When your organization sponsors Paddle for Life, you help make both parts of this mission possible: supporting the voyage itself and sustaining Pacific Cancer Foundation’s year-round services.
