With exciting momentum building around the future Cultural Center, we humbly ask for your support of our November Charity Golf Tournament. Enclosed are sponsorship and participation forms for your consideration. This year, our goal is to surpass $100,000 net proceeds - building upon the tremendous success of the past two years, which each generated over $75,000 net in support of this important vision.
We are now nearing acquisition of an extraordinary 50-acre parcel in the heart of Kailua-Kona that will become the future home of the Cultural Center. Your contribution will directly support Phase 1 development within the 10-acre Japanese Garden area. Within the next three years, the community will be able to enjoy peaceful walking paths surrounded by vibrant hydrangeas and azaleas, torii gates, rock gardens, ponds, and waterfalls. Temporary event spaces will also allow cultural programs such as taiko drumming, hula performances, and community gatherings to begin actively using the property.
Within five years, plans call for permanent facilities including offices, meeting rooms, a gift shop, cafe, museum, plaza, restrooms, and paved parking areas. The Center will serve as a gathering place for festivals, weddings, celebrations, educational programs, and cultural experiences including tea ceremonies. Black pine trees and bonsai gardens will create a place of reflection, beauty, and connection for generations to come.
Significant progress is already underway. A site-specific master plan for the 50 acres has been completed. Archaeological inventory work is in progress, environmental assessment studies are underway, and engineers have begun preliminary infrastructure planning. Detailed fundraising and Phase 1 development plans - including future naming opportunities - are also being finalized.
Once again, we humbly ask for your support. Your generosity will help create a much-needed cultural gathering place that honors heritage, builds community, and leaves a lasting legacy for future generations.
