Adopt-A-School Day Fundraiser

-

We will be helping with the 59th CBF Court’s Adopt-A-School-Day Project. The court has selected Waipahu High School as their school in need. One of the court members is a teacher at Waipahu so there was a personal tie in selecting this school.

To raise money for supplies the court has organized an event at Ka Restaurant and Lounge this Saturday, September 17, 2011. The pre-sale ticket value is $5 and is valid for free entry til 11:30 p.m. The nightclub is open from from 9:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.  If you are interested in purchasing tickets, please email info@hjjcc.com with how many tickets you’d like to purchase and we can then arrange a delivery date and time. You can also make a donation toward the project instead of purchasing a ticket, just let us know.
