Mana Up Hawaii

Mana Up is a statewide initiative in Hawaiʻi that supports entrepreneurs by providing resources and tools to help them scale globally. Many participants have gained international recognition for products tied to local ingredients, culture, and community. As these entrepreneurs grow, they contribute to economic diversification, create high-quality jobs, give back to the community, and foster a regenerative culture of entrepreneurship.

Please support our Rotary Interact Club from Roosevelt Highschool!  Our students have asked for help weeding their school garden. Please bring hat, suncreen, water and gardening gloves and prepare to get dirty!

Refreshment will be served after.

Aloha Sunrisers!
