Each spring Aloha High School sponsors a week-long fundraising event called Warrior Extravaganza to raise money for Doernbecher Children's Hospital. During the week, students raise funds through activities such as karaoke, a Slurpee-eating contest, a Mr./Ms. Aloha contest, a bowl-a-thon, a community talent show, and basketball and football games. The activities are planned, organized, and run by the AHS Leadership Class. This year students raised more than $11,000 for Doernbecher. Since 1996 Aloha students have donated more than $50,000 to Doernbecher children and programs.
