Seattle SunTan, a premier tanning destination in the Pacific Northwest, is launching "A Ray of Hope for Maui," a fundraising campaign that will donate 10% of all in-store revenue generated on Friday, August 11 from its 34 locations across Washington and Idaho to three outstanding Maui nonprofit organizations: United Way Fire Relief, Maui Strong and Maui Mutual Aid.
In addition, Seattle Sun Tan's online fundraiser will donate 100% of all donations given here or in stores, through August 31, 2023.
"We believe in the power of coming together to support those in need and the need couldn't be greater as these fires have ravaged a place our family has been visiting since the 1970's," said CEO Scott Swerland. "We are excited to unite our customers, staff, and partners in this collective effort to provide urgently needed relief and support to the people of Maui during this tragic time."
The organizations chosen for this fundraiser play an integral role in assisting the Maui community during challenging times. Maui's United Way Fire Relief has been instrumental in aiding communities affected by fires, while Maui Strong has a long-standing tradition of providing resources for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. The fund is currently being used to support communities affected by the wildfires on Maui. Additionally, Maui Mutual Aid has been a driving force in providing essential resources and assistance to those in need on the island of Maui.
