Supported one of Hawaiʻi’s largest annual expos of local products by managing sponsor deliverables, coordinating with vendor sponsor partnerships, and aligning the internal event team. My role bridged logistics and communications, ensuring the festival uplifted local businesses and delivered engaging sponsor activations.

The 31st Annual Made in Hawaiʻi Festival welcomed 70,000 attendees and featured more than 700 vendor booths, live entertainment, a beer garden, and a dedicated Kūpuna Rest area. Our team secured over $470,000 in sponsorships—exceeding its goal by 121%. Additionally, through a matching partnership with the Servco Foundation, we were able to donate $30,000 to the festival’s charity partners the Hawaii Foodbank and The Food Basket (DA BUX program).
