The Maui County Building will be lit up in red and white from 8-10 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 14, as part of the Skyline Salute, a nationwide tribute honoring Social Security’s 90th anniversary.

According to AARP Hawai’i, since its inception, Social Security has provided a foundation of financial stability to generations of Americans. Today, 34,765 people in Maui County and 296,605 statewide receive Social Security.

“Social Security is a promise kept and we’re proud that the Maui County building will be lit up in recognition of its legacy and importance,” said Keali`i Lopez, state director of AARP Hawai`i. “It has helped thousands of kupuna and others stay out of poverty and afford the basics, and it’s something worth celebrating and protecting. We thank the mayor and his staff for this recognition of Social Security’s importance.”

Red and white lights will shine in cities across the country, symbolizing decades of trust, reliability, and bipartisan commitment, according to organizers.

“Social Security is a lifeline for thousands of Maui County residents, helping with daily expenses and boosting our local economy,” Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said in a statement. “Lighting the county building is a symbolic way to honor this vital program and the peace of mind it provides for so many in our community.”
