Aloha Spirit Championships

Founded in 2001, Aloha Spirit is the ultimate themed event. Teams and spectators show their Aloha Spirit at these events often dressing in Luau themed attire and enjoying games and promotions that are Hawaiian themed. Aloha spirit extends above industry-standard customer service with many programs leaving feeling like part of the Ohana.

At each event, Aloha is proud to present the “KA MAHALO” Award, a 3-foot tall custom-carved and hand-painted wooden tiki statue, to programs that exemplify the true “Spirit of the Islands”, demonstrating sportsmanship and team spirit by dressing in Hawaiian-themed attire, as well as by showing kindness and respect to everyone they encounter throughout the weekend.
