Support HAPA’s 20th Annual Lu’au

Aloha from HAPA Club at NAU 

We are the HAPA Club at Northern Arizona University, a cultural community dedicated to celebrating and preserving the vibrant traditions of the Pacific Islands.

For over 20 years, our club has offered students a space to build community and celebrate culture within the NAU and Flagstaff community. 

Through events, performances, and cultural engagement, we aim to honor our heritage, support students in their college journey, and spread the aloha spirit to everyone around us.

Honoring 20 Years of Lu’au

Every spring, we host our annual Lu’au, a traditional celebration filled with music, dance, and community. This year is extra special, it’s our 20th anniversary.

Our members spend months preparing dances, decorations, and interactive experiences to create a magical, authentic Lu’au that welcomes everyone, free of charge.

Your support will help us:

  • Cover venue costs for the big night
  • Purchase costumes and decorations to bring the Lu’au to life
  • Provide food to keep the celebration free of charge
  • Preserve and share cultural traditions for years to come

Every dollar helps us keep this cherished tradition alive and growing for future generations of HAPA members and the wider Flagstaff community.HAPA seniors from last year performing a senior exclusive hula on stage

Mahalo Nui Loa: Thank You for Your Support

“Mahalo nui loa” means “thank you very much” in Hawaiian.

Your generosity ensures that we can continue to celebrate, educate, and share culture with the NAU community. Each donation, big or small, helps us create an unforgettable Lu’au and keep this tradition going strong.

Your kōkua (help) reminds us that the spirit of aloha connects us all, no matter where we come from. We can’t wait to welcome you to this year’s celebration.HAPA members gathered around for a group photo following the conclusion of last years Lu’au
