The Ko Olina Children’s Festival was first launched as a fundraiser for Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children in 2014. Since then, the event has raised nearly $400,000 for the only full-service children’s specialty medical center in the Pacific. Funds from previous festivals have helped Kapiʻolani build a new emergency triage room and supported the medical needs for the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care units.
Join us for a day of fun, learning and giving back at the 8th annual Ko Olina Children's Festival! Together, let's make a difference in the lives of Hawaiʻi's keiki.
