The Caregiver Foundation will host its annual fundraising event, Starlight Fancies 2025, on November 1, 2025, at the Generations Ballroom in the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i. This community event seeks to generate support for vital caregiving services that enhance the lives of Kupuna (elders), individuals with disabilities and their families across Hawai'i. The foundation describes the event as more than a fundraiser; it represents a celebration of caregivers' essential contributions to Hawai'i's communities.
Gary Powell, Founder and Executive Director of TCF, emphasized the importance of the event, stating, "Our goal is to make life less stressful and more dignified for those we serve. We are honored to work with our clients and their families to promote community, support and hope." The event offers a community-centric platform to connect, celebrate and support programs that empower caregivers and foster dignity and independence among vulnerable populations.
Attendees will enjoy delicious local cuisine provided by Bamboo Catering, a silent auction featuring antiques, collectibles and experiential prizes, and live local musical performances by Brickwood and Friends thanks to entertainment sponsor Kupuna Power. The evening runs from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., providing ample opportunity for community members to participate in this inspiring evening of food, music and camaraderie.
Funds raised at Starlight Fancies 2025 will directly benefit TCF's programs, including the Youth Caregiver Support Program, Ohana Health CNA Scholarship Program, Virtual Support Groups and additional initiatives designed to support caregiving needs and promote community well-being. These programs ensure continued access to essential services for Hawai'i's most vulnerable residents and their caregivers.
The foundation emphasizes the collective effort required to make a difference in the lives of caregivers and those they serve. Community members interested in attending can find tickets and additional information on the Starlight Fancies 2025 Event Page. The organization's work supports Hawai'i's Kupuna, adults with disabilities and their caregivers through programs and resources that promote dignity, independence and community engagement.
