Mauna Lani Bay Hotel &Bungalows invites local organizations and charities to participate in the 22nd annual Charity Trees at Mauna Lani, planned for the upcoming holiday season.

This special event helps raise awareness and funds for local nonprofit organizations.

The entry deadline for this year is Nov. 27, so organizations have plenty of time to create their holiday tree decorations.

Charity Trees will be displayed in Mauna Lani Bay’s lobby through the holiday season beginning Dec. 4.

Community members, resort guests, employees and friends and family are invited to view the entries and vote for their favorite tree ($1 donation per vote).

The winners will be announced Dec. 22, and Mauna Lani Bay will award cash prizes to the organizations whose trees receive the highest number of votes.

Prizes are $2,000 for first place, $1,000 for second place and $500 for third.

Donations will be split among all participating organizations, excluding first-, second- and third-place winners.

All for-profit organizations must designate a charity to receive their donation.
