Pineapple Grill at Kapalua, a member of the Cohn Restaurant Group, along with hosts Roy and Betty Sakamoto and Mitch Mitchell of Sakamoto Properties, spearheaded the Pineapple Grill Anniversary Gala that benefits Hale Makua Health Services. For the past six years proceeds from this event have benefited the Luana project, whereby Hale Makua Health Services is currently striving to move away from a medical / institutional model of care to one that is more homelike. In 2010 alone the event raised over $22,400 for Hale Makua Health Services.
Pineapple Grill's 6th Anniversary Celebration was held on Saturday, May 28, 2011. Guests enjoyed delicious pacific island dishes prepared by award-winning chef Ryan Lucky and the Pineapple Grill culinary team, including seafood, carving and sizzle stations, and treated to libations from a martini ice luge and premium wine stations.
