6 tickets to hawaii = $8k? No way. You can definitely get it cheaper than that. My mom, grandma, aunt all came from Hawaii to Boston for $422 ($475 including all taxes) May 1 to May 8th.
Where are you leaving from? You need to shop around and be flexible with dates for coming and going. The ONLY time of year when it's really expensive and impossible to buy to go home to hawaii is Christmas.
My cousin is military and OFTEN flies home to hawaii on military flights for free. The cargo, where you aren't sure if you are going. Why not go do that if money is really tight.
Even if you fly interisland in hawaii it's $60/one way so $120 x 6 = $720. It used to be $9/one way for some flights.
There is an easy way to go to hawaii for cheap. From the east coast it shouldn't cost more than $800 on a peak time (summer). So $4800 for a family of 6. Where is this $8k coming from? And like I said off peak like my mom got under $500.
