Daughters of Hawai'i Establish Earthquake Campaign
HONOLULU, HI--Daughters of Hawai‘i received a $25,000 donation from the Paul Allen Family Foundation to assist with the restoration of the earthquake-damaged Hulihe'e Palace in Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawai‘i. In response to the severe damage, The Daughters have established a Hulihe‘e Earthquake Fund, which hopes to raise significant funds for the repair and restoration of the Palace.
The kickoff for the fundraising was held on November 29, 2006 with a reception hosted by First Hawaiian Bank at the Bankers Club in the First Hawaiian Tower in Honolulu. A special Hulihe‘e Palace video was premiered at the event. Hawaii Student Television, a nonprofit organization that uses video production as an educational tool for students, produced the video. High school students on the Big Island filmed many of the dramatic shots of the damage to the palace that were incorporated into the film, which will be available for viewing at the Daughters website at www.daughtersofhawaii.org.
Those wishing to make donations to the Hulihe’e Earthquake Fund may send their tax deductible donations to: Daughters of Hawai‘i, 2913 Pali Highway, Honolulu, HI, 96817 or call (808) 595-6291.
