Driving Positive Change: Areté Collective Supports Turtle Bay Foundation Golf Tournament

A strong turnout of 150 golfers from vendors, businesses and community partners teed off for a good cause at the 12th Annual Turtle Bay Foundation Golf Tournament, held at Turtle Bay’s Arnold Palmer Golf Course.

This year’s tournament, held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, raised $190,000, helping fuel Turtle Bay Foundation’s mission of strengthening Ko‘olauloa and the North Shore through educational, cultural and environmental initiatives.

“Every scholarship awarded by Turtle Bay Foundation creates a ripple of positive impact throughout the North Shore and Ko‘olauloa. Areté Collective is proud to continue supporting their work to open doors for the island’s next generation of leaders.” — Rebecca Buchan, CEO, Areté Collective.

Since its founding, Turtle Bay Foundation has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to nonprofits and scholarships to students in the community.

 Areté Collective donated the use of the entire Arnold Palmer Golf Course for this event, ensuring that the maximum amount of funds raised can be allocated to scholarships supporting students. Areté’s own Kiele Muraco and Travis Joerger, board members for the Turtle Bay Foundation, were on-site providing support throughout the day, as well as countless other golf course employees who volunteered at the event.

Through its Collective Good Foundation, Areté Collective is committed to uplifting the communities where it builds and operates. Supporting the Turtle Bay Foundation is just one of the many nonprofit initiatives the Collective has championed this year to advance education, environmental stewardship, and community wellbeing.

Mahalo to everyone, including the golfers, volunteers and sponsors, who made this year’s tournament a success.
