The Maui Humane Society is hosting a launch party for its 2025 calendar, which features firefighters and lifeguards cuddling with animals. 

The event will take place on Oct. 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Maui Brewing Co.’s Kihei location and will include signings by the firefighters and lifeguards in the calendar, pet adoptions, and brews and pupus.

The nonprofit invited Maui pet owners to compete to have their pets included in the calendar, which helped raise funds for the Maui Humane Society. Along with the cute animals, the calendar photoshoots included members of the Hawaii Fire Fighters Association and Hawaii Government Employees Association.

Party tickets can be purchased here. “Rescue Me” calendars will be available for purchase at the event or for pickup for those who pre-ordered.
