Meet Maui Disposal, one of the sponsors helping make Paddle for Life 2026 possible right here on Maui.

From waste and recycling services during the Paddle for Life voyage to showing up at other Pacific Cancer Foundation events like Battle of the Badges, Maui Disposal keeps finding meaningful ways to support Maui's paddling community and Maui's cancer 'ohana.

Their support helps keep this voyage, and this island, running clean and strong, for paddlers, volunteers, and everyone taking part in the 17th Annual Paddle for Life.

Mahalo, Maui Disposal, for continuing to show up for this Maui community.

Now it's your turn. Show Maui Disposal some love, follow, share, or support their local Maui business, and support Paddle for Life at paddleforlifemaui.org 🤙

This year’s Paddle for Life voyage wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible group of sponsors and community partners, and we want to take a moment to say mahalo.

HMSA, our presenting sponsor, was an essential part of making this voyage possible from the ground up.

Sail Maui joined us as a Voyage Partner, bringing their boat alongside the fleet so board members, survivors, and event sponsors could experience the crossing firsthand.

Hawai’i Cancer Care, Maui Vera, Safety Services Hawaii, Maui Disposal, Maui Soda & Ice Works, Menehune Water Co., Expeditions Maui-Lāna’i Passenger Ferry, Nalu’s South Shore Grill, First Hawaiian Bank, Kaiser Permanente, Maui Oil Company, Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, Dorvin D. Leis Co., Inc., Goodfellow Bros., OHO Botanical Compounding, Maui Sticker Company, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Pasha Hawaii, Pūlama Lāna’i, T.J. Gomes Trucking Co., Inc., and Kern River Dental all made generous contributions that helped carry this voyage from planning to the water, and help Pacific Cancer Foundation continue providing no-cost support for Maui County families facing cancer.

Every one of these partners plays a part in making sure no one in Maui County faces cancer alone🎗️ 💚

Mahalo to all of our 2026 sponsors, swipe through to see each one 🤙

Jayden Wilson was 4 years old when he was diagnosed with leukemia. He's now 15, and in remission.

His family has been by his side every step of the way, and this October, that same 'ohana took that love to the water for the 17th Annual Paddle for Life.

Team Jayden paddled the 'Au'au Channel, Maui to Lāna'i and back, and the paddling may be over, but their fundraising isn't. Donations to Paddle for Life are open through the end of the year, and every dollar helps fund no-cost support services for Maui County families facing cancer: patient navigation, transportation assistance, nutrition counseling, and financial support when it's needed most. That support stays right here, in this community.

Head to paddleforlifemaui.org to donate to Team Jayden, or support Paddle for Life in whatever way you can before the year ends.

Together, we're making sure no one in Maui County faces cancer alone 🤙

It's October, Go Pink Awareness Month 🩷

One community. Two teams. One mission. Team Police and Team Fire are still competing to see who can raise the most for Pacific Cancer Foundation, but while there's a winner on the scoreboard, the real victory belongs to our community.

Every dollar raised helps Pacific Cancer Foundation continue providing free programs and services for Maui County families facing cancer.

Back Team Fire or Team Police, or grab your shirt and wear it with pride all month long.

You made the voyage.

36 miles across the 'Au'au Channel, Maui to Lāna'i and back, carried by every paddler, every team, every sponsor, and every person who fundraised, donated, or cheered from the shore.

To every paddler who crossed that channel this weekend, what you did was so much bigger than 36 miles. Some of you paddled for someone you love and lost. Some of you paddled for someone still fighting. Some of you paddled for yourself, as a survivor showing the next person it can be done. Whoever you carried with you, you carried them the whole way.

None of this happens without the incredible generosity of this year's sponsors, HMSA, Sail Maui, Hawai'i Cancer Care, Maui Vera, Safety Services Hawaii, Maui Disposal, Maui Soda & Ice Works, Menehune Water Co., Expeditions Maui-Lāna'i Passenger Ferry, Nalu's South Shore Grill, First Hawaiian Bank, Kaiser Permanente, and Maui Oil Company. Mahalo for standing behind this community.

We are so proud of you, and so grateful for you.

If you paddled with us this year, tag us and in your stories and posts, we would love to reshare and congratulate you.

This was the 17th voyage. Next October, we go again, and we can't wait to see who joins us. Until then, 'ohana 🤙

Meet Sail Maui, joining us as a Voyage Partner for the 17th Annual Paddle for Life.

Their boat sails alongside the fleet on October 3, and that generosity means something special this year: PCF board members, cancer survivors we serve, and several of our event sponsors get to experience the voyage firsthand, out on the water with our paddlers.

Sail Maui's support helps bring this campaign to life and helps ensure no one in Maui County faces cancer alone.

Mahalo, Sail Maui, for being part of this voyage with us 🤙

Now it's your turn. Show Sail Maui some love, follow, share, or support their work in our community, and support Paddle for Life at paddleforlifemaui.org.

Meet HMSA, our presenting sponsor for Paddle for Life 2026.

When we think about what it takes to bring this voyage to life every year, HMSA is an important part of that story. Their support carries this event from the very first planning conversation all the way to the moment our paddlers hit the water, and that kind of partnership means everything to us.

As a healthcare organization, HMSA understands something we live every day at PCF, that showing up for Maui County families facing cancer takes a whole community behind it. We're deeply grateful they choose to show up for ours.

Mahalo, HMSA, for helping carry this voyage forward.

Now it's your turn. Show HMSA some love, follow, share, or support their work in our community, and support Paddle for Life at paddleforlifemaui.org 🤙

Kehau has been paddling with us for 10 years. Last year, that changed in a way she never expected, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

It hit her hard. But she had something to carry her through it, a strong 'ohana, and the support of Pacific Cancer Foundation along the way.

This year, Kehau is back on the water, and she has a mana'o she wants to share with you. In Hawaiian, mana'o carries more than "opinion," it's a thought held with real weight, something worth sharing and worth hearing. Hers is simple: you cannot put a dollar sign on life.

"We spend money on so many things we don't really need," she says. "But you can't put a dollar sign on helping save someone's life."

This October, Kehau is paddling the 17th Annual Paddle for Life, and she's asking you to be part of it. Whether you donate, create your own team, or simply send your support, every bit means the world to her and to every family this voyage carries.

Head to paddleforlifemaui.org to donate or register for the 17th Annual Paddle for Life. October 3 and 4, 2026.

Want your team or someone you're supporting this year to be featured next? Tag them below or send us a DM, we'd love to share their story.

Come paddle with us 🤙

So much attention goes to treatment. Then treatment ends, and you're left figuring out the everyday things on your own. This is one of those things, and you don't have to sort it out by yourself.

Finding a bra or breast prosthesis that feels right can take time.

On Monday, October 12, we're partnering with Nordstrom's certified Prosthesis Team to offer private, one-on-one fittings at Kaiser Permanente Maui. Fittings are by appointment and typically covered by insurance with a provider referral.

How to get started:

Ask your oncologist, surgeon, or medical provider for a referral. If you'd like help with this, our Navigation Team can assist.

Once your referral is in, our navigators will confirm it, review your insurance coverage with you, go over any financial assistance resources that may be available, and securely share your information with Nordstrom.

A Nordstrom representative will reach out to schedule your fitting and walk you through what to expect.

Your fitting includes a private consultation, a look at prosthesis options and bra styles, tips on care and cleaning, and support finding a fit that feels comfortable.

Questions? Reach our Navigation Team at 808-249-1623 or [email protected]. We're here to walk alongside you.

Know someone who might benefit? Feel free to share this with them.

Head to paddleforlifemaui.org to donate to Team Nalu's Cliffy or Team Schell Wa'a, or support Paddle for Life in whatever way you can.
