Celebrate With HPPA in the National Parks of Hawaiʻi
Come celebrate our best decade yet with a day of fun and giveaways in the national parks of Hawaiʻi on December 1st, 2021, our 10-year rebranding anniversary!
HPPA began as HNHA in 1933. In 2011 we changed our name to HPPA and created new logos and logo merchandise for our six national parks partners in order to celebrate them individually and create merchandise exclusive to those parks that told their unique stories. In the 88 years that we have supported parks, the wants, needs, and expectations of visitors have shifted and grown. We have pivoted to meet that need with an expanded merchandise selection in our visitor center stores and online shop, and we continue to evolve along with the parks and the expectations of their dedicated visitors.
Join us at our visitor center park stores with free holographic mandala stickers for the early birds, basket give-aways filled with our most popular national parks merchandise, and free coloring sheets and temporary tattoos for kids or the kid in you. And, as a bonus, shoppers can take 20% off on our entire store selection for this one day only.
There will also be the opportunity to make a direct donation at the park store register with a goal to raise at least $5,000. HPPA will match donations up to $5,000. We will then be able to present our partners with a gift of at least $10,000 for the ten years that have passed since our 2011 rebranding! Come #ShopYourParks and help make that happen!

HPPA is the nonprofit partner of six national parks in Hawaiʻi and American Samoa. Proceeds from our visitor center park stores and online shop support national park projects and programs, contributing over $20+ million in direct aid and other support to the national parks since 1933.
