The 28th Joy of Food and Wine

 

Mahalo for an Unforgettable Evening

Mahalo to everyone who joined us for the 28th Annual Joy of Food & Wine at Halekulani. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the event sold out and raised more than $450,000 to support REHAB Hospital of the Pacific and the patients and families we serve. 

It was an evening filled with exceptional food, wine, music, and, most importantly, community coming together to restore hope and transform lives.

A special mahalo to our incredible chefs Wade Ueoka and Michelle Karr-Ueoka of MW Restaurant, Shaden Sato of Halekulani, and Warren Shon of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits for sharing their talent and generosity with us.

Mahalo to all of our sponsors, donors, guests, volunteers, and the entire REHAB ʻohana for helping make this celebration such a success.


A Journey of Hope, Strength and Ohana

We were honored to share the inspiring story of Kaulana, a spinal cord injury survivor whose journey captures the heart of REHAB.

With the care, expertise, and aloha of the REHAB ʻohana, Kaulana worked through milestone after milestone, regaining his strength, independence, and confidence. Today, he is back doing what he loves—from surfing and golf to weightlifting.

Watch Kaulana share his inspiring journey of recovery below.
