Mahi‘ai Match-Up Gala

February 24, 2014

Kamehameha Schools and Ke Ali‘i Pauahi Foundation revealed the first, second and third place winners of the Mahi‘ai Match-Up agricultural business plan contest at a February 22 fundraising gala at Dole Cannery’s Pōmaika‘i Ballrooms.

The first-ever contest is aimed at increasing the state’s food production and decreasing its dependency on imported foods, one of the goals of KS’ Strategic Agricultural Plan. Winning teams were awarded an agricultural lease from KS with five years of waived rent, and seed money from the Foundation to help grow their businesses.
