Supporting Our Community
Among Our 2022 Contributions:
Engaging Our Shareholders
We engage with our shareholders formally on a quarterly basis to provide business updates. We also proactively reach out to our investors through a variety of platforms including conferences, roadshows, news announcements and individual meetings.
More than 1,200 Hawaiian Airlines employees, along with their families, donated 6,795 hours to 175 organizations in Hawai‘i and the geographies we serve. They supported cultural initiatives, environmental conservation and helped care for our most vulnerable community members.
In addition to sweat equity, we supported the equivalent of $833,852 in employee-sponsored donations, ranging from travel and HawaiianMiles to cash contributions, to benefit hundreds of nonprofits in Hawai‘i and abroad.
PLANT THE PLANES: AN EMPLOYEE-DRIVEN RESTORATION PROJECT ROOTED IN CULTURE
In paying homage to our botanical aircraft names, our Team Kōkua employee volunteer group joined forces with the Ko‘olau Mountain Watershed Partnership, an alliance of public and private landowners committed to protecting native forests on O‘ahu’s Ko‘olau Mountains, to kickstart a new restoration project called “Plant the Planes.”
We continued to sponsor a wide range of community organizations throughout our route network and in Hawai‘i, including: American Heart Association, Bishop Museum, Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, Eddie Aikau Foundation, Hawai‘i Agricultural Foundation, Hawai‘i Agricultural and Culinary Alliance, Hawai‘i Children’s Discovery Center, Hawai‘i Food Industry Association, Hawai‘i High School Athletics Association, Hawai‘i International Film Festival, Hawai‘i LGBT Legacy Foundation, Hawai‘i Opera Theater, Honolulu Museum of Art, Kāhuli Leo Le‘a, Ke Kula ‘o Samuel M. Kamakau (Kai Loa Inc.), Mana Up, Maui Chamber of Commerce, POW!WOW! Hawai‘i, Shidler School of Business at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Special Olympics Hawai‘i, the Maui Farm, and the University of Hawai‘i Athletics.
In 2022, we strengthened our support for the Ko‘olau Mountain Watershed Partnership to better support its efforts to repopulate native forests in O‘ahu’s Ko‘olau Mountain Range.
START STRETCHING!
Virtual fitness challenge to inspire thousands to holoholo (go out) while benefiting the nonprofit Friends of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge.
For a third consecutive year, we encouraged 6,447 people worldwide to holoholo (go out) and prioritize their wellness during the annual Holoholo Challenge. The Hawai‘i inspired fitness experience in October invited participants to track their progress with virtual routes inspired by scenic roads that wind through Hawai‘i Island. More than $33,000 was raised for local nonprofit Friends of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge, which protects a 32,830-acre parcel on the Big Island that’s home to 29 critically endangered species, including seven birds, one insect, one mammal and 20 plants found nowhere else in the world.
