🌺 Our goal: $25,000 in new tables, tickets & Kākoʻo — fueling programs that empower Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs and strengthen our lāhui.

Celebrate Native Hawaiian Excellence — Fuel Programs that Uplift Our Lāhui

Join the Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce at the 2025 ʻŌʻŌ Awards Gala, our signature event celebrating over five decades of Hawaiian business excellence and honoring visionary ʻŌiwi leaders who strengthen our lāhui through innovation, mentorship, and community service.

E Hoʻomaikaʻi — congratulations to our 2025 Honorees:

Come early and explore the Mākeke — a curated market of Native Hawaiian vendors — then enjoy dinner and networking, with live Hawaiian music, cultural performances, and dancing, before the prestigious ʻŌʻŌ Awards presentation.

Honor 'Oiwi leaders who have dedicated their lives to serving the community
Deliver Project Ho'omana to empower the next generation of Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs
Provide economic data, tools, and training to foster financial independence
Combat the diaspora by helping Native Hawaiians build pathways to livable income and long-term success here at home
