Sentry Tournament of Champions plans free youth events

The 2020 Sentry Tournament of Champions and Maui Arts League will host a free keiki “Paint and Putt” at Campbell Park on Front Street in Lahaina from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Dec. 29. There will be snacks, golf skill games and prizes. The art workshop requires registration and is available for 60 youths. Parents must register their keiki (grades 3-12 ) at mauiartsleague.org/events/#youthworkshop/.

Teaching the outdoor still-life workshop will be Darice Machel McGuire, winner of the 2019 LahainaTown Poster Contest, and owner of Art-E Studio in Lahaina. Painting alongside the keiki will be Oahu fine artist and Chaminade University art instructor Mark Brown, creating an original oil painting of the Sentry Tournament of Champions glass-blown trophy.

Brown’s colorful, bold-stroke Hawaiian paintings appear on the sets of “Hawaii 5-0,” and he won Best in Show at the 2019 Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational. Brown will donate his finished painting for auction at the tournament in January to benefit Maui Charities.

This free keiki event is sponsored by LahainaTown Action Committee, Lowson & Associates, Sentry Tournament of Champions and Maui Arts League. All art supplies were donated by Laurie Lowson from Lowson & Associates.

Maui Arts League is one of many local Maui charities that receive support from the PGA Tour. Tournament tickets will be on sale at the event (cash or check only), and 100 percent of proceeds will support Maui Arts League’s mission to engage Maui youths in fine art.

On Jan. 1, another community event will benefit Maui youth. ‘Ohana Day, sponsored by Sentry Insurance, brings local families and keiki to the Kapalua Plantation Golf Course to watch the PGA Tour champions.

Maui schools will be competing to achieve the greatest percentage of attendance based on school enrollment data. Sentry Insurance will award $4,000 to the school complex that has the greatest attendance. Youths can help their school win by enlisting school friends and family to join in the fun.

That’s not all. State champion and fourth-place Little League World Series finisher Wailuku Little League team, former Major League Baseball star Shane Victorino, and other Maui celebrities will be on hand to honor sports and sign autographs alongside the some of the best PGA Tour players in the world.

Youths accompanied by an adult are admitted free. Parents can receive two free grounds tickets in exchange for a donation of 10 pounds of food to the Maui Food Bank.
