On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., the Maui Police Department's Traffic Division, Hawaii Alcohol Policy Alliance (HIAPA), Maui Coalition for Drug-Free Youth, Hawaii Public Health Institute, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and the family and friends of Hannah Brown will gather in front of the County Building, located at

200 S. High Street in Wailuku, to kick off Maui County's Impaired Driving Awareness Holiday Campaign. The event will conclude with the Seventh Annual Hannah Brown Memorial Impaired Driving Awareness Checkpoint.

The event, which is now in its seventh year, is an effort to change the mindset of people who drive impaired on drugs and or alcohol. " Every impaired driving fatality can be prevented. We're asking everyone in our community to help stop these needless tragedies on our roads and make sure everyone gets home safely to their loved ones," said Lieutenant Kenneth Kihata of the Maui Police Department's Traffic Division.

"Each year, as we honor Hannah, especially with the holidays coming up, we hope it encourages people to stop and think before getting behind the wheel. Families like the Browns, and many others across Maui, still suffer the heartbreaking and preventable loss of loved ones because of drunk driving. If you plan to drink, please don't drive. Make your plans ahead of time. When we work together as a community, we can make a real difference and save lives," said Lieutenant Kenneth Kihata.
