Angela Keen, former KHNL morning co-anchor, will emcee a program featuring such performers as Shari Lynn, Leonard Piggee, Star Williams and Allison Chu. Emmett Yoshioka will be music director and Brad Powell stage director.

Tickets: $50 per person, $90 per couple or $300 for a table of eight; includes heavy pupu, champagne splits and red and white wine.

A silent auction is planned, with 95 per cent of the proceeds going directly to client aid.
