Bonneville International Launches “Maui Strong” to Aid Devastating Fire Relief Efforts

Aug 14, 2023

SALT LAKE CITY—Bonneville International, a company committed to building up communities, has launched the “Maui Strong” fire relief fundraiser to help provide support for those affected by the devastating fires. The funds raised through the Bonneville effort will be donated to the Hawaii Community Foundation. 

The wildfires that have swept through Maui have left behind mass destruction, leaving families displaced, homes lost, and lives forever changed. Recognizing the urgent need, the Bonneville International group of stations are using their collective voice to join forces with the communities they serve and provide vital assistance to those in need.

“Bonneville International has always been deeply rooted in the communities it serves.  With so many connections to the islands throughout the west, especially in the states our markets serve, Maui Strong is a testament to our commitment to stand by our neighbors in times of crisis,” says Tanya Vea, President and COO, Bonneville International. “Our mission to build up, connect, inform and celebrate communities drives us to make a meaningful impact, and we believe that by coming together as “Maui Strong”, we can bring some hope and healing to those in need.”

To kickstart the fundraising efforts, Bonneville’s foundation made a notable contribution of $15,000, which demonstrates the company’s dedication to making a difference.  100% of the donations received by Bonneville through the Maui Strong fundraiser will be donated to the Hawaii Community Foundation.  The Hawaii Community Fund will be addressing the evolving needs, including shelter, food and financial assistance with the money they receive.

Bonneville operates stations in Salt Lake, Seattle, San Francisco, Sacramento, Phoenix and Denver.
