Kids Day edition hits streets with celebrity sales

Advertiser Staff

Leave a little extra time in your morning commute tomorrow to pick up a special edition of The Advertiser from special paper-hawkers.

The Advertiser has once again teamed with parents, children and celebrities for Kids Day, with a special edition of the newspaper written and distributed by kids and volunteers.

The theme is "Who Am I?" and the edition benefits Parents And Children Together. The special insert has essays, poems and drawings by students in grades 1 through 12 who entered a contest.

Proceeds benefit PACT's programs for early childhood education, childcare, child-abuse and domestic-violence prevention and treatment, teen development, children's mental health, community building and economic development.

Gov. Linda Lingle and Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona will be selling Kids Day editions at the State Capitol.
