We, at Kupa`a, are humbled by the recognition and support this presentation has received from both Hawai`i and Mainland-based organizations. We are honored that they placed their faith in Kupa`a to perpetuate cultural traditions of Hawai`i, and in this spirit, know that their guests would be in good hands. As a result, the following are clients who placed their trust in us, so that we may show that the spirit of aloha still lives in the Midwest.
