Associa Cares Donates To Hawaii Wildfire Victims
Hurricane Dora generates winds up to 60mph,
hampering firefighting and recovery efforts
DALLAS — August 10 2023 — Associa Cares, the community management industry’s leading charitable organization, is donating funds to help a leading international charity assist those affected by a series of devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian islands of Hawaii and Maui. Associa Cares is the charitable affiliate of Associa, the industry’s largest community management company.
Six fast-moving fires have burned more than 1,800 acres across Hawaii and Maui. They are the result of a confluence of weather conditions, dry vegetation, and low humidity. Very strong winds strengthened by Hurricane Dora as it moves through the central Pacific Ocean, have whipped up flames and grounded firefighting helicopters. There have been multiple evacuations, rescues, and school closures as U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Army forces in the state joined Hawaii first responders. Multiple structures have burned, and much of the historic Maui town of Lahaina is feared destroyed.
To support wildfire relief efforts, monetary donations can be made to Associa Cares by visiting the organization’s website and clicking on the “Donate” button.
“This is an extremely fluid situation that continues to develop by the hour,” said Associa Hawaii Branch President Pauli Wong, PCAM®, RS®. “Thousands of our family, friends, and neighbors have been displaced, many losing their homes and everything they own. We are making this contribution to help them recover, rebuild, and move forward with their lives.”
Part of the funds earmarked will go to local nonprofits providing for the immediate needs of those impacted; the remainder will be available for individual financial assistance. To apply for relief, please visit www.Associacares.org.
