Advertiser Staff

The American Red Cross (Hawaii State Chapter) will hold "Tea at Halekulani" from 1 to 4 p.m. April 22. All proceeds will go directly to the Hawaii State Chapter to meet crisis needs of the community and to perpetuate emergency preparedness education and awareness.

Celebrity buzz: "Lost" actor Daniel Dae Kim will be among the event's special guests.

A sweet and savory afternoon tea will be accompanied by a fashion show of the Yves Saint Laurent spring/summer 2007 collections, with accessories supplied by Tiffany & Co. There will also be a silent auction.

"Many people do not realize that the Red Cross is not a government agency. We rely on the generosity of Hawai'i's people to provide critical services to our community including compassionate assistance to disaster victims, teaching people how to save lives, and providing emergency communication between deployed soldiers and their loved ones. We are very excited about our tea and would like to thank all of our sponsors and guests for their wonderful contribution to the cause of humanity," stated Coralie Chun Matayoshi, CEO if the American Red Cross, Hawaii State Chapter.

Seats for the American Red Cross Tea at Halekulani can be purchased through the American Red Cross office, Jaylene Chee at 739-8130 or email cheej@hawaiiredcross.org. Sponsor tables are also available for $2,500 and $5,000 with individual tickets available at $250.
