Hawaii businesses band together to bring high school students safe alternative to prom

Back in April of 2021, Billy V of Hawaii News Now conducted an interview with Michael Miller, the Director of Operations at Tiki's Grill & Bar. Despite the Department of Education not allowing proms in Hawaii's high schools, local businesses have come together to put on a prom-like experience for high school students.



Tiki's Grill & Bar, located in Hawaii, is offering a special prom package that includes oceanfront seating, a four-course meal, and a photo to take home. The menu features a range of delicious options, from coconut shrimp as an appetizer to a hot molten lava cake for dessert. They have taken measures to ensure the safety of the students, such as spacing the tables out six feet apart.

This effort is part of  , an Instagram page dedicated to bringing together different vendors who offer a variety of services, from flowers to transportation, to help make the prom experience as memorable as possible. Michael encourages interested students to visit Tiki's Grill & Bar's website, tikisgrill.com, for more information.

It's heartwarming to see the community come together to make prom a reality for high school students, even in the midst of a pandemic. #HIPROM2021 is a shining example of how the power of community can bring people together and make something special happen.
