HUGS <3 BENEFIT FUNDRAISER TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE HAWAII

From left to right, Jacie Katsuda, Aileen Deese (PCAH), and Juliann Chen

The outcome was fantastical. It exceeded both mines and Jacie’s expectations. I’m so happy we did this for Prevent Child Abuse Hawaii. Jon would have been so proud. We were fortunate enough to have Aileen the Program director of Prevent Child Abuse Hawaii (PCAH) to say a few words about their organization. She made me tear when she was giving her speech…. 😦 talking about Jon’s recent passing… and how much he loved working with Jacie and I.

What else happened..
Well, artists put up their pieces… we had a number of musical talents. We had a fashion show by La Pistil. We had a room full of positive people that were there to support the prevention of child abuse in hawaii, local music, local arists, and local fashion.

It’s people like this that give us hope that there is still good in the world…

Thank you to all the bands that came out! Thank you to all the artists that were a part of this cause! Thanks to Prepschool and La Pistil!

A big thanks to all the helpful volunteers:
Julia Chen, Evan Kuranishi, Alexander Chen, Daniel Ohta, Caroline, Teri, Ken Lykes, Aaron Rideout, the boys from Restore – Chaz / Cole / Austin, Ernie from Friends Of Adam, and… if I forgot someone… I am terribly sorry!

Thank you to Nikki for letting us do our show at Diverse Art Center 🙂
