Giovanna Goddess Gala

Family Programs Hawaii hosted the sixth annual Giovanna Goddess Gala earlier this year at the private home of international artist Giovanna Neuman in Kahala. The event for women featured a buffet, dancing, psychic readings, live and silent auctions and lots more. Funds raised benefit Family Programs Hawaii’s Project Visitation, which makes use of community volunteers to provide visitation and bonding for siblings separated in foster care. Each year, the program and its volunteers bring together nearly 200 separated foster siblings.
