Help Maui Wowi Help Kids Are Heroes

Maui Wowi is deeply involved in an organization called Kids Are Heroes, a web site that inspires children to change the world by showcasing those that already have. Please see www.kidsareheroes.com.

Recently our contact at Kids Are Heroes saw a note from Richard Branson asking people to pitch ideas via a 2 minute video to his Pitch TV concept. The idea is that a few select pitches would be chosen to be on his web site for people to vote on. Winners will be played on Virgin Atlantic Airlines as part of their in flight entertainment. Putting these videos in front of business people may provide matches so that projects can be funded. To make a long story shorter Kids Are Heroes sent in their pitch and made his web site. The voting began and closes April 27th. This could provide the organization with the rare opportunity of taking Kids Are Heroes to a global platform, which is our vision. To learn more about this and to see the pitch we made see the blog post at http://www.justgabe.com/2009/04/06/submitted-to-pitch-tv/

To vote please use this link: http://entrepreneur.virgin.com/vote/ Scroll down past the links to the videos, fill in your info and select Kids Are Heroes from the drop down list, check the boxes and click the Submit button. PLEASE pass this information on to others so they can vote. This has the potential of being life changing for children and families all over the world. We humbly ask that you forward to as many people as you feel is appropriate to help us reach our goal. This costs nothing, other than a minute or so to vote. Thanks so much for your support.

Maui Wowi Wows CCBC

Maui Wowi at the CCBC Health Fair


Maui Wowi blended up their healthy and delicious fresh fruit smoothies for the students at Community College of Baltimore County. The students loved it -- there was a line the entire time. After all, who could say no to something so refreshing, healthy and delicious? The event was so popular that we've already been invited back for another spring event. Hope to see you there!

Shamrockfest 2009

The weather wasn't so lucky (it was cold and rainy most of the day), but everyone who attended Shamrockfest was definately lucky cause Maui Wowi was there making hot kona coffee and hot koko all day long. We couldn't brew it fast enough it was so popular! By the end of the day, we were out of water and out of product. We'll have to do better praying to sun god for next year's event. See you again next year!

Bring on the New Year!

Maui Wowi Celebrates the Lunar New Year

It was a celebration for all in attendance at the LIFE and Discovery's Lunar New Year Celebration at Tuscarora High School in Frederick, MD. The auditorium was packed -- while it only holds 750 people, there were 1200 in attendance.

Despite the wonderful exhibits and presentations, the most exciting part of the evening -- at least according to these guys in the picture -- was getting a Maui Wowi smoothie.

If you didn't have a chance to visit us at the show, stop by anytime at the FSK Mall. Mahalo A Hui Hou!

Maui Wowi Welcomes in the Chinese Lunar New Year

Maui Wowi Celebrates The Lunar New Year

Maui Wowi participated in the Lunar New Year Celebration at the FSK Mall in Frederick, MD. So many great performances -- music, martial arts, arts and crafts. There was so much to see and do, including getting a FREE SAMPLE of a Maui Wowi fresh fruit smoothie. These were the hit of the celebration and everyone who stopped by got a $.50/off coupon to use at the Maui Wowi store located in the mall. The dancing lion stopped by our booth and was given a healthy donation (money) vs a smoothie -- since the donation is said to give lots of health, wealth and good luck in the new year. Maui Wowi smoothies are plenty healthy too (100% natural), but we think the lion didn't want to drink while dancing.

Hawaii Comes to Gettysburg in January

It may have only been in the single digits outside, but inside it was HOT, HOT, HOT. Maui Wowi blended up fresh fruit smoothies for Gettysburg University students, who were definately into the tropical theme of the evening. A live band got everyone jamming for hours until the students were forced to go home in the snow.
