PARTNER SPOTLIGHT - MAUI JIM SUNGLASSES
Now the fastest growing premium polarized sunglass maker in the world, Maui Jim got its start in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii.
The Aloha Spirit permeates Maui Jim's philosophy. Their "ohana" (Hawaiian for family) is passionate about creating the best sunglasses on the planet. Because at the end of the day, they want to see the world at its best - and they know that you do, too, no matter where you live. Aloha, friends! "Your World. See the Brilliance" is what Maui Jim is all about. For more information,
please click here.

- If you are a member working at a facility that does not carry Maui Jim products, you are eligible for one pair of Maui Jim sunglasses for personal use at 60% OFF Retail Price.
