The Keiki Rise Showcase is a powerful celebration of Hawai‘i’s next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. Hosted at the Hoʻokupu Center, this annual event highlights the innovation, creativity, and resilience of youth ages 8–18 who have spent six months in the Keiki Rise Accelerator, gaining hands-on business experience, mentorship, and entrepreneurial training.
More than just a showcase, the evening is a dynamic community gathering that brings together families, educators, business leaders, cultural practitioners, and civic partners to support and uplift Hawai‘i’s keiki. Guests experience an inspiring blend of live music, cultural performances, shopping from youth-run businesses, dinner, raffles, and special presentations—including the recognition of the Keiki Entrepreneur of the Year, presented by the Mayor of Honolulu.
By shining a spotlight on youth innovation, the Showcase amplifies the importance of investing in Hawai‘i’s keiki, cultivating sustainable businesses, and building a stronger, more resilient future rooted in culture, community, and entrepreneurship.
