Hurricane Lowell, a category 2 hurricane, ravaged Kaua'i and Ni'ihau on the evening of September 7, 2026. Our heart and prayers go out to everyone on our home island of Kaua'i and neighboring island of Ni'ihau, including our vendor Ohana.
I am so grateful that everyone is safe following Hurricane Lowell. My heart is aching for our beautiful island of Kaua’i and for those affected by this natural disaster.
The people of Kaua’i are resilient and we will get through this together.

Giving Back
Every year we have donated our time to work side by side with The Bridge, a Non-Profit Organization working with Kauai High School students. The Bridge’s purpose has always been to help Kaua’i high school students go to college by pairing them with an adult mentor to advise and encourage them and their families. What began in 2016 with one mentoring pair has flourished into 26 mentoring pairs today! Our 30 Scholar graduates have attended excellent colleges including Columbia, Harvard, Lewis and Clark College, and Vanderbilt University.
Lotus Events & Weddings and The Bridge have held a yearly fundraiser. The funds have supported our scholars with an opportunity to study abroad during high school, also allocated towards college application fees, SAT and ACT preparation.
We invite you to take time to view The Bridge website for more information.
We kindly ask if you make any donations to The Bridge or Maui Strong that you add Team Lotus 444 as we will be tracking all donations.
Thank you so much!
