Get ready for an exciting and groundbreaking event! The University of Hawai'i softball team is about to make history with their first-ever Pre-Season Pa'ina fundraiser, and you're invited!
On January 18th, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. HT, the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium will come alive with a unique and interactive experience. This inaugural event promises to be a blast, offering fans a chance to connect with the new head coach, Panita Thanatharn, her dedicated staff, and the talented 2026 Rainbow Wahine softball team.
But here's where it gets even more intriguing: the team has planned a series of engaging activities that will keep everyone entertained. Imagine witnessing a thrilling Hit-A-Thon, where the UH players showcase their skills, followed by a Home Run Derby open to both alumnae and special guests. And if that's not enough, you'll have the opportunity to snag autographs from your favorite players during an exclusive autograph session.
Now, here's the part most people miss: this event is not just about having fun; it's also a crucial fundraiser. The proceeds will directly impact the team's performance and well-being. Imagine fueling the locker room with energizing protein shakes and healthy snacks, investing in cutting-edge technology for scouting and filming, and acquiring top-notch equipment for team development. It's an opportunity to directly support the team's success.
For a small admission fee, you'll receive heavy pupu and two drink coupons. Adult tickets are $50, and children aged 6-14 can attend for just $25. But wait, there's more! Hawai'i softball alumnae can attend for free and even compete in the Home Run Derby at no cost. For guests who want to join the derby, a $50 donation fee is required.
So, are you ready to be a part of this historic event? Mark your calendars and RSVP by January 14, 2026, at https://SBPaina2026.eventbrite.com. Don't miss out on this chance to support the team and be a part of something truly special.
