Maui Jim Maui Invitational 2023

[pc in NM]

Gonzaga, Kansas, Marquette, Purdue, Syracuse, Tennessee, UCLA and Chaminade are scheduled for the 2023 Maui Jim Maui Invitational in Lahaina...

Lahaina no longer exists. Not sure what possible accomadations can/could be made on such short notice...

I haven't seen any commentary on this - but the area is totally devastated. Projections are that recovery could take more than a decade...

I don't see any way this tournament still happens in Lahaina.

They were using the civic center as a shelter until they had to evacuate from there. It is likely gone as well. Really sad what happened

The Civic Center is still standing

Can be played in Vegas for a few years until enough is back up and running in Maui.

It was played in Vegas during the pandemic

Just play it on Oahu and give the kids a Hawaiian experience

I think where this tournament is going to be played is (should be) the last thing on anyone's mind

I get what you are saying but it is also a major opportunity to raise a ton of money and awareness for Maui. I am shocked at how little coverage and attention this is getting

And in Australia and New Zealand too. For sure, the Aussie's and the Kiwi's know about bush fire loss. Right now, Europe has its own issues, but I'll bet its in their papers too.
