Aloha everyone,
As of last week, a spot opened up at the People’s Fair in Civic Center Park for Piʻilani to do some fundraising. Click on the sign-up genius link for more information. The club would greatly appreciate it if you could donate some of your time (4 hours on one of the days to be exact) by volunteering at the Pepsi Booth that we will have. The Pepsi booth is simply a booth that sells beverages to event goers, and as we sell these beverages, we share some Hawaiian music and hula from time to time. It is a great event to spend some time with other club members. You will also have a front row seat to all of the other festive booths that will be around Civic Center Park. Once again, we humbly ask that you sign up for slots ASAP so that we can confirm that there is enough people to help.
This event will generate $600.00 for the club, 25% of which will be deposited into our scholarship fund which funds our cultural and academic scholarships.
Consider volunteering today by clicking the link below!
If you need more information, please contact Phillip Swain at (720) 212-8430.
