Dsc_0059%20web

Thank you to all those who participated in team fundraising events, walked the 5km route, raised individual pledges, supported a team fundraiser by buying food, and/or made a donation. Without your support, we wouldn't have been able to raise $47,780.20 and place 2nd for nonprofit raising the most money. Plus, the funds that we raise go even further in helping to provide financial assistance to Hale Makua residents who are unable to afford the cost of living at a nursing home, because a percentage of money raised is matched by the Hawaii Hotel Industry Foundation.

Teams and individuals did a phenomenal job raising funds! Here are your top team and individual fundraisers:
