Proceeds benefit their historical preservation projects, the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center and scholarships for 10 graduates of high schools on Maui. Contestants are responsible for representing the Sons and Daughters and the NVMC at various events throughout the year. A formal coronation of the queen will occur along with a full court presentation. Enjoy exhibits and entertainment centered around American Japanese heritage. Dinner is available for purchase.
