DETAILS
Inspired to perpetuate Iolani Palace’s storied cultural and historical legacy for a new generation, the HNC & DAWSON launched Power The Palace, a matching donation campaign that matched contributions to the Palace dollar for dollar to help fund operations and educational programming.
Iolani Palace is a living restoration of a proud Hawaiian national identity and is recognized as the spiritual and physical multicultural epicenter of Hawaiʻi. Built in 1882 by King Kalākaua, Iolani Palace was the home of Hawaiʻi’s last reigning monarchs and served as the official royal residence and the residence of the Kingdom’s political and social life until the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893.
