Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows is inviting area organizations and charities to participate in the 22nd Annual Charity Trees at Mauna Lani, planned for the upcoming holiday season. The event helps to raise awareness and funds for local nonprofit organizations.

Nov. 27 is the entry deadline so organizations have plenty of time to create their holiday tree decorations. The charity trees will be displayed in Mauna Lani Bay’s lobby from Dec. 4 through the holiday season. Community members, resort guests and employees are invited to view the entries and vote for their favorite tree for a $1 donation per vote.

The winners will be announced Dec. 22 and Mauna Lani Bay will award cash prizes to the organizations whose trees receive the highest number of votes: $2,000 for first place, $1,000 for second place and $500 for third place. Donations will be split among all participating organizations excluding the three winners. All for-profit organizations must designate a charity to receive their donation.

For entry forms and details, visit maunalani.com or contact Ranie Fukumoto at 881-7002 or rfukumoto@maunalani.com.
