Chocolate, Champagne, & Couture For-A-Cause 2024
We look forward to gathering once again in the beautiful Four Seasons Ko Olina amidst the charm of Champagne, the elegance of Couture, and the indulgence of Chocolate to support women in our community.
Before our event begins, we’ll revel in the fresh sounds of incredibly talented Zaysha and Jenn from Simple Souls! We’ll experience a decadent Chocolate Fountain, create lasting memories at our Photobooth, get a new do and dry styled, and sit in a brand-new BMW hybrid. And then experience the fashion show of a lifetime!
In our 9th annual, sold-out event, we can’t thank our Cause partners enough, Alaska Airlines and Neiman Marcus. Our event sponsors BMW Honolulu, Hawaiian Host Group, HONOLULU Magazine and experiences by Drybar, Redefined Weddings, and Juniper Calligraphy.
Every sip of champagne and every bite of chocolate today is a step towards positive change. April 6th can’t come soon enough!
