HulaPalooza Auction Report

Last month’s auction was a huge success in all kinds of ways, and I want to thank everyone for being a

part of it. We had a wonderful time enjoying Hawaiian music, dance and food, as ‘ohana – family. Most

importantly, it was a special opportunity to socialize with friends and raise critical funds for our parish

and our social ministry partners Western Farm Workers and William Temple House.

Preliminary results indicate that we raised approximately $58,000 which includes generous donations

before the event to fund the lunch and several auction items. Deducting costs for the event, the auction

raised approximately $34,000 to support our parish ministries. That is $4,000 above our fundraising

goal!! In addition, we raised $19,000 for our social ministry partners Western Farm Workers and

William Temple House. That is $7,000 more than we raised for social ministries last year!! Thank you all

for your generosity!!
