There's a little over 5 hours left to bid on some awesome auction items at Emalia's Table. It closes tonight at 11:59 PM HST! It’s down to the final hours and we’re so grateful for the generosity and aloha shown over the past week. This is your last chance to bid and support a cause that offers hope and healing to grieving children and teens across Maui County.
Now’s the time to place your final bids or “Buy It Now” on those one-of-a-kind treasures still up for grabs! From a relaxing stay at the Four Seasons Resort Maui, red light therapy sessions with Makena Health, private golf simulation, to stunning jewelry, intimate catered dinners with friends, an adventurous getaway in Keystone, Colorado and even the chance to ship your car across the Pacific currently at half the value—there’s something for everyone.
Not into bidding but still want to help? Direct donations through the auction are welcome and deeply appreciated. We’ve already received contributions ranging from $100 to $1,000—and every dollar counts. Our programs are free for all families, and we rely on events like Emalia’s Table and the generosity of people like you to keep them going. No gift is too small—or too great.
You are the reason this work is possible.
This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 10 years of Nā Keiki O Emalia providing compassionate grief support. Since 2015, we’ve been honored to walk alongside hundreds of children through the pain of loss, and it’s thanks to our community that we’ve been able to offer this care—at no cost to families we serve.
Today is also a day close to our hearts: June 19th is Emalia’s birthday—the bright, courageous woman whose spirit inspired this entire program. Today is a celebration of her life and light, and the healing it’s sparked in hundreds of Maui’s keiki. Supporting Emalia’s Table today is a beautiful way to honor her legacy.
Thanks for checking it out!

Since 2015, Na Keiki O Emalia has helped grieving children and teens find hope, healing, and connection following the death of someone significant in their lives. As we honor a decade of impact, we invite your participation in our signature annual fundraiser, Emalia’s Table, taking place online now through June 19, 2025.
Emalia’s Table is a digital auction inspired by the spirit of community, connection, and the joy of coming together around a shared meal. Each year, the online fundraiser features exclusive Maui-based dining experiences at some of our island’s most celebrated foodie locales. This year, our fundraising efforts expand beyond the table to offer extraordinary experiences, unique items, luxurious getaways, and one-of-a-kind adventures sure to nurture heartfelt bonds and create lasting memories. Each bid, purchase, and donation helps to ensure that bereaved children on Maui feel supported, seen, and less alone.
All proceeds directly support Nā Keiki O Emalia’s peer-based grief support groups for children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one. Thanks to community support generated by events like Emalia’s Table, the program has doubled its school-based programming over the past year and distributed personalized grief care packages to dozens of children across Maui County who have recently lost a loved one.
Nā Keiki O Emalia runs school and community-based peer groups. If you or your school is interested in participating, please contact us at Imua Family Services: (808) 244-7467 or [email protected]. Each group is guided by trained facilitators and designed to foster connection, emotional expression, and healing.
“Emalia loved birthdays and bringing people together, and this event is a reflection of her spirit,” says Brooke Brown, founder and Emalia’s mother. “As you share a delicious meal with loved ones, you can feel good knowing you are helping many of Maui’s keiki.”
We hope you’ll sit with us at Emalia’s Table this year in support of bereaved youth as they learn to thrive again. Together, we can offer comfort, community, and connection to Maui’s keiki when they need it most.
