No task is too big when done together by all.
HOLIDAY BENEFIT FUNDRAISER
Our Holiday Benefit Fundraiser is held in the Fall at the start of the Holiday Season. The Event is sold out every year long before we advertise it. The evening features award winning Big Island Chefs along with music by Hawaiʻis Award-Winning Artist as well as a silent auction. Done in true Holiday flare!
HAWAIʻI ISLAND VISITOR INDUSTRY CHARITY WALK
We have participated in the Hawaiʻi Island Visitor Industry’s Charity Walk for the past six years. The opportunity to raise money by applying for a grant and participating in a day of FUN is a time of year The Alex & Duke De Rego Foundation looks forward too. Grants range in size up to a total of $10,000 per organization.
ROI ROUND-UP DIVE TOURNAMENT
In the spirit of mālama i ke kai (caring for the ocean), our foundation spearheaded the Roi Round-Up Spearfishing Tournament & Ocean Safety Day—bringing our community together to protect Hawaiʻi’s living reefs and native fish. Our past partnerships have been with The Nature Conservancy of Hawaiʻi and the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Life Advisory at Hualālai Resort, working side by side to remove invasive “junk” fish—roi, taʻape, and toʻau—from our coastal waters, giving native species the chance to thrive. Most recently, in May 2025, we partnered with the Marine Life Conservation District and local nonprofit ʻIke Lawaiʻa, alongside KapuKapu ʻOhana, as part of an ongoing community effort to restore and preserve Kealakekua Bay’s ecological and cultural integrity. While we no longer host our own tournaments, our commitment to protecting the ocean remains steadfast, and we continue to support the organizations carrying this important mission forward.
