This weekend the Paradise High School Football Team will head to Maui to play a game with Lahainaluna High. It’s called the “Unity Bowl”, and it grew out of messages of support that Paradise students sent to Lahaina after their devastating fire in 2023. Shirts that said “From One Paradise to Another” delivered a message of empathy and understanding from a community that also had been traumatized by fire. To pay for the trip, the team has raised most of their $30,000 goal on gofundme.com. The Lahainaluna team is planning to visit Paradise for a game next year.
