Aloha Maui Ohana and Beyond-

For decades, Elly’s Formal Wear & Bridals has been part of the fabric of Maui’s community.

Generations of brides, grooms, teenagers and families have walked through their doors preparing for one of the most meaningful days of their lives. From wedding gowns to tuxedos, from proms across the county, to servicing the local Maui community, Elly’s has helped create countless memories for many across the island.

This week, tragedy struck.

Severe flooding hit the shop, filling the building and parking lot with mud and water. The damage is devastating. Inventory, equipment, and the space itself have been heavily impacted, leaving this beloved small business facing an incredibly difficult road ahead.

Now, Elly’s must not only clean up the damage — they must also find a new location and rebuild from the ground up.

As many of us know, small local businesses are the heart of Maui. They support our families, employ our neighbors, and help keep our island community strong.

Elly’s Formal Wear & Bridals was the first bridal shop on Maui, and it has served our island with dedication for years.

Now it’s our turn to support them.

We are asking the Maui community — and anyone who has ever celebrated a wedding here — to come together and help Elly’s reopen their doors.

Funds raised will help with:

• Flood cleanup and restoration

• Replacing damaged inventory

• Relocation costs

• Rebuilding the shop in a new location

Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring this beloved business back to life.

If you cannot donate, please share this fundraiser so we can reach as many people as possible.

Let’s rally together and show what the Maui community is made of. Mahalo for your support!

Sincerely-

Friends of Elly's
