“B.E.A.C.H. is proud to be partnering with the Eia Hawaii Fund to help raise awareness of marine debris and bring solutions to this major environmental disaster. We applaud EHF for the wonderful, generous offer of funding support for non-profits which protect the ocean and coastal environment. Receiving additional funding will help immensely. We will be able to move forward with projects sooner and achieve results faster in achieving our goals of bringing awareness and solutions to plastic marine debris in order to protect marine life, sea birds and the ocean/coastal environment.”   Suzanne Frazer, co-founder of Beach Environmental Awareness Campaign Hawai‘i

“Collaborating with cutting edge events that bring thousands of people together presents the perfect opportunity to bring the issue of plastic pollution front and center, straight to the stage. Since not everyone can come to a cleanup, we bring the lesson to them. Additional funding would mean the world to us and would allow us to clean up more beaches and to provide more help to our neighbor islands.”   Kahi Pacarro, Executive Director of Sustainable Coastlines Hawai‘i

“We’re grateful to the Eia Hawaii Fund for their perseverance and well-orchestrated efforts to raise awareness and funds for the local non-profits here in Hawai‘i that are striving to better the State’s keiki and ʻĀina. Mana Maoli is honored to be a partner and beneficiary. There are many ways that donations could help sustain our Mana Mele Project, including sustaining our year-long afterschool and elective courses, school visits by artists, and producing more engaging videos.”   Keola Nakanishi, Director of Mana Maoli
