It's been more than a month since wildfires ravaged Maui but the tragedy is still at the forefront of many Utahns minds as fundraising efforts are still going strong.
Recovery will take years and efforts are estimated to cost close to six billion dollars.
The Utah Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce immediately jumped into action following the natural disaster. The results of one fundraiser resulted in a $20,000 check being sent to those impacted in Maui. Now, those who run the State Room Presents are doing their part. After the first quarter of the year, $11,000 was split between three Utah groups. Although Maui is far away, TSR Presents said the connection between Utah and Hawaii made this donation a no-brainer.
