Ooklah The Moc performs at "Love for Baby Sydni," a benefit for an ailing infant, from 9 tonight at the Mai Tai Bar at Ala Moana Center.

Sydni is the 5-month-old daughter of Jiya, the Mai Tai Bar's assistant manager. The tot has been diagnosed with a rare but treatable blood disease, so she faces regular chemotherapy in the next year.

The staff will donate all tips to Sydni, and additional donations will be accepted at the door. Information: 947-2900.
