We’re excited about another collaboration with 88 Tees, a Hawaii-based clothing and accessories brand, which features their popular character, Yaya enjoying the island lifestyle with her family, and sharing the Aloha spirit with others. Featured on a limited-edition Long Box, plus T-Shirts and a Tote Bag, are Yaya, and another of 88 Tees’ characters, Kuku, enjoying chocolate dipped shortbreads from Big Island Candies!
A Collab for a Good Cause
And since this collaboration is all about sharing Aloha, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Big Island Candies x 88 Tees Long Box, through June 30 2026, will be donated to 808 Cleanups, a Hawai`i nonprofit that empowers the community to restore native ecosystems and neighborhood spaces from Mauka to Makai. This Gift Box is available to order on our website, and for purchase at our Hilo and Ala Moana Center stores, while supplies last.
“This collaboration between Big Island Candies, 88 Tees, and 808 Cleanups celebrates that spirit of activities on and around the ocean,” states Lance Duyao, Vice President of Public Relations and Special Events. “It serves as a reminder that we must take charge of the care for the ocean and surrounding areas so that it can thrive and continue to be sustainable for generations to come. Enjoy the beach and ocean, but please do so in a responsible manner, heeding cautionary signs, cleaning up after yourself, and using items like tanning lotion that do not harm our precious coral and sea life.”
Share, and Wear, the Aloha
We also have these T-Shirts (in pink, also in beige, in sizes from Small to Extra Large), plus a handy Tote Bag, allowing you to sport the message of Share Aloha, throughout the summer season, and year-round really. The T-shirts and the Tote Bag are available for purchase in our stores (not on our website), so stop by our Hilo or Ala Moana Center store today! Quantities are limited!
Mahalo for your support, and we hope that all of you have a safe, fun summer with your friends and family.
