Donation Helps Cancer Patients

Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children celebrated Giving Tuesday with a number of notable donations. One such gift came from the family of Ally Tamayose, who was diagnosed with and eventually died from osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. In honor of Ally’s memory, her family donated more than $30,000 for Kapi‘olani’s forthcoming Martha B. Smith Cancer & Infusion Center, which will provide state-of-the-art cancer care for women and children. Photo courtesy Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children

Filling Up For The Hawai‘i Foodbank

‘Wicked’-ly Good

JustServe Club students from Farrington, Kaiser and Roosevelt high schools and Punahou School planned and hosted a sold-out movie night for Wicked’s premiere at Consolidated Theatres Ward with TITAN LUXE. Dozens of at-risk youth from Pearl Haven, RYSE and Pālama Settlement got to watch the film, and the club members also garnered canned food donations for those in need.
