Thanks to your big hearts, generosity to our community, and a splash of Hilo sunshine 🌞, the tournament held March 5 was a great success 🎉

Big MAHALO to title sponsor Big Island Candies! 👏 A very special mahalo and all our gratitude to all of the amazing sponsors, donors, on-course vendors, golfers, volunteers, incredible host Hilo Municipal Golf Course, and the Golf Committee.

The tournament kicked off with a customary "kagami biraki", breaking of the sake barrel lid, with Mayor Kimo Alameda, Allan Ikawa of Big Island Candies, JCCIH President Ka`iu Kimura, and Golf Committee Chairs Susie Dill, Audrey Takamine, and James Tyrin.

It's JCCIH's complete honor to support local business and to be able to mahalo you all for your incredible support - we can't wait to see you all at next year's JCCIH Golf Classic!

JCCIH is helping to gather feedback from our members on how state and county regulations impact businesses in Hawaii.
As part of this effort, we want to hear directly from you about the challenges you face and what changes could help create a more business-friendly environment.
This request comes as a member of our Chamber is serving on the Business Revitalization Task Force’s Permitted Interaction Group (PIG) on Regulations. The PIG has been tasked with gathering input from businesses to help inform discussions on potential regulatory improvements. While this is not an official request from the Task Force as a whole, JCCIH is committed to advocating for policies that support a strong and thriving business community.
Your input is critical in shaping recommendations for streamlining regulations and improving Hawaii’s business climate.
