Buddha Jewelry Partners with local piercer Makenna Kuykendall for Maui Wildfire Recovery Event in Support of Lahaina Community Land Trust
Lahaina, Maui, HI – March 21, 2025 – In a powerful demonstration of community support and solidarity, Buddha Jewelry, in partnership with esteemed local piercer Makenna Kuykendall of Piercings by Makenna, announces a special Maui Wildfire Recovery Event. This event aims to raise crucial funds for the Lahaina Community Land Trust, directly aiding in the ongoing recovery and preservation efforts following the devastating wildfires.
The event will feature an exclusive piercing pop-up showcasing solid 14k gold jewelry meeting APP (Association of Professional Piercers) standards, alongside the highly anticipated first access to Buddha Jewelry’s brand-new Maui-inspired collection, "Maui Love". A portion of the proceeds from the event will directly benefit Lahaina Community Land Trusts' mission to empower residents and prevent further displacement following the devastating wildfires.
“I’m so excited for my collab with Buddha jewelry,” said Makenna. "Not only does this collection give back to our Lahaina community, it’s been a long asked for collection by my clients for many years! I’m so excited that it’s been brought to life.”
Buddha Jewelry, known for its high-quality body jewelry and dedication to responsible sourcing, is excited to contribute to the recovery efforts. “ With the purpose of supporting the Lahaina community, in collaboration with Makenna, we created a limited edition Maui Love collection. We aimed to capture the essence of the islands and its community, and through sales, contribute meaningfully to their restoration and preservation efforts,” said Kat Wickersham, Co-founder, CEO for Buddha Jewelry.
