Advertiser Staff Writer

The city today announced a new partnership that will allow the popular Sunset on the Beach events to continue.

Hawaiian Telcom will be the presenting sponsor for six of the events this year, starting with this weekend's, said Mayor Mufi Hannemann. The company also committed to sponsor an additional 12 events from January to June 2006.

The city had been seeking a private sponsor to help underwrite the cost of the events and hopes other companies will come forward.

Hawaiian Telcom has committed $125,000 to the program.
