HONOLULU (KHON2) — Several non-profit organizations are collaborating with Raising Cane’s to provide free, educational events for keiki this summer. Wake Up 2Day’s Chris Latronic went live from Hawaii Kai Towne Center with all the details.
He was joined by:
Ali Urbick | Raising Cane’s
Dannah Barnes | Executive Director of Read to Me International
Susan Hawes | Actor, Comedian, Reader
Michael Fujimoto | President of Aloha United Way’s Society of Young Leaders
Dominic Tamashita-Pots | Board Member for the Aloha United Way Society of Young Leaders
Summer Read to Me events began on June 8 and will have several opportunities through July 27. Each session is slated from 8 a.m. to noon at select restaurants on Oahu.
The program will consist of three to four book readings, bookmark making and singing and learning activities provided by Read to Me International, a local non-profit organization that provides parents with the skills and techniques to engage their keiki in a read-aloud.
Raising Cane’s Stuff Da Bus Back to School Supply Drive and Celebration will benefit the Aloha United Way Society of Young Leaders.
The event is set for Sunday, July 14 from noon to 2 p.m. at Raising Cane’s in Pearl City.
Those who would like to participate should bring new school supplies! The goal is to stuff the whole bus with supplies our keiki need for school.
There will also be free soccer clinics with the Barefoot League in August with dates pending.
