As the horrific Maui wildfires continue to spread, VitaSea is donating 100% of online sales to Maui Strong Fund through the month of September. 
 
The disaster hits home for Suncare brand founder Christine Burger, who grew up in Hawaii with memories of playing in the waves, eating fresh papaya, watching her aunt dance the hula and walking the beach with her grandfather.
 
“We stand 100% with our friends and family on Maui. As we watch the devastating videos of wildfire destroying everything in its path, we are heartsick. We have made a decision to do as much as we can to help,” said Matthew Burger, VitaSea co-founder. “Beginning today through September 30th, we will donate 100% of our proceeds from online sales to the Maui Strong Fund that has been set up by the Hawai’i Community Foundation. HCF has waived all fees; 100% of our money will go towards supporting the community through services including shelter, food, financial assistance and other needs as they arise. To kickstart this initiative, we are donating the first $10,000. Thank you for joining us in helping our beloved State of Hawaii.”
