DuAnne Redus opened her new Maui Wowi business
in July of 2005 serving fresh fruit smoothies and Hawaiian
coffees at events in the Hill Country. I saw an opportunity
to provide customers with a nutritious way to cool down,
while supporting local youth in the process.
Maui Wowi both fuels my entrepreneurial
spirit and gives me a pathway to raise money for Youth
Taking Charge, a local non-profit organization I founded
in 1992 that focuses on youth crisis prevention and
creates innovative programs that enhance participants
self-esteem. We are committed to donating a percent
of the businesss profits to Youth Taking Charge.

My Maui Wowi business is a perfect
opportunity to expose middle-schoolers to the fulfillment
of owning a business, working with people and putting
smiles on customers faces. I had no idea
that my degrees in business and psychology, and 18 years
in the corporate would prepare me for such an endeavor.
But here we are working within community, and having
the time of our lives.
In addition to financially supporting
Youth Taking Charge, Redus is using her Maui Wowi business
as an educational tool. Redus teaches lessons about
responsibility, customer service, and even nutrition
to middle-school youth.
Maui Wowi serves at many kinds of events
including festivals, parades, employee recognition
gatherings, business celebrations, private parties,
school functions and fundraisers. The product line includes
Fresh Fruit Smoothies and Hawaiian Blend Coffees. Our
smoothies are all natural, no sugar-added, fat-free
treats that some call a meal in a cup.
