Mana o Ikaika: The Warrior Spirit Behind Our Kaua‘i Collaboration
Supporting Our Kauaʻi Keiki Through Warrior Mindset & Community
At Spirit of CAN., we stand with those who rise above challenges with strength and purpose. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Kamehameha Schools Association of Kauaʻi (KSAK) to support students who leave their home island to attend Kamehameha Schools on Oʻahu.
Our shared mission? Fuel a warrior mindset and raise funds for the families who carry the weight—financial and emotional—of supporting their keiki from afar.
Mana o Ikaika
Created in collaboration with KSAK, the Mana o Ikaika design features:
Our signature Ikaika warrior helmet
The Hawaiian flag in grayscale with a blue stripe
The island of Kaua‘i symbol inside the period of CAN.
The inspiring phrase on the back: Mahalo i ka mea loa‘a – IMUA
“The ‘Mana o Ikaika’ design represents the essence of a warrior’s strength and power—resilient, determined, and inspiring. This artwork serves as a visual emblem of courage and the importance of protecting a positive mindset."
Giving Back: Where the Proceeds Go
Sales of these items support the Kamehameha Schools Association of Kaua‘i.
KSAK’s Ongoing Work
The KSAK ohana does more than fundraise—they build community and care deeply for each haumāna they serve. Their impact includes:
Monthly meetings that build pilina (relationships)
Creating home-school connections
Coordinating fun and meaningful events
Giving makana, awards, and scholarships
Why This Matters to Us
This collaboration is also personal. Our Chief CAN. Ambassador Keali‘i Kaʻiminaʻauao is the brother-in-law of KSAK’s Colleen Kaʻiminaʻauao who's on is a Kamehameha student from Kaua'i. Through his leadership and deep connection to the community, we’re honored to be part of something that uplifts future generations. He's proud, loving and fun braddah who's always looking out for others! Cuz CAN.
