In an effort to raise $50,000 for a scholarship fund benefitting the six children of Hawai'i-based Marines recently killed in action, the senior class president at La Pietra School for Girls is organizing a series of car washes around the island, with the first to be held in Waikiki tomorrow.
The car wash will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the VIP Car Rentals parking lot, corner of Kalakaua Avenue and Niu Street.
For more information, visit marinekids.com or e-mail marinekidsfund@yahoo.com.
Checks should be written to "Marine Kids Fund" and can be mailed to the Armed Services YMCA, Honolulu Branch, P.O. Box 29333, Honolulu, HI 96820. For more information about the fund, call 473-1427.
Gov. Linda Lingle has proclaimed today as Rell Sunn Day. The announcement is timed to coincide with the first showing of the Honolulu Theatre for Youth's new play "Queen of Makaha (Rell Sunn)."
The play is about the late surfing legend Rell Sunn, who lived in Wai'anae and Makaha and died from breast cancer in 1998 at age 47.
The first showing will be at 7:30 p.m. today at the Wai'anae Recreation Center and is paid for with a $25,000 grant from Hawaiian Electric Co.
Rell Sunn Day officially today
