Join our Parks & Recreation staff in showing your appreciation for those who sacrificed for our country by helping to Sew Lei for Memorial Day! If you can’t volunteer your time, we also take flower donations, particularly plumeria. Feel free to drop-off your flower donations at any of the lei-sewing sites listed to the left.

We encourage everyone to make their own lei-making workshop and drop-off their lei at one of these designated locations! The lei need to be 20″-22″ when untied (please tie them). It is preferable to make flower lei which are more visible on the gravestones (particularly plumeria), but ti leaf lei will work as well. Floral spray, such as ti leaf and anthurium bouquets, are welcome.

Graduating students and their families are encouraged to donate their fresh flower/ti-leaf lei from their celebrations to any of the lei-sewing locations or drop-off sites. It’s a great way to give your lei a second life, while showing your appreciation for our fallen servicemembers.

Following the Memorial Day Ceremony, the Scouts will return to Pūowaina to remove the lei and American flags. Volunteers are encouraged to join in this effort on Tuesday, May 27 beginning at 9 a.m.
