Habitat for Humanity Hawaii Island will hold its First Annual Fundraising Gala on Saturday, November 17th at the Courtyard by Marriot King Kamehameha Hotel on Alii Drive. The evening will feature dinner, a silent auction, and a special musical performance by Paula Fuga. Monies raised through the ticket sales, silent auction, and sponsorship will help Habitat for Humanity continue to work towards achieving their goal of building 20 homes over the next year. Some of the monies will be directed specifically for helping those families affected by the most recent eruption in the Puna area. Tickets are $125, and can be purchased by visiting http://bit.ly/habitatgala. If you have any questions regarding the Gala, ticket sales, or sponsorship of the event, please contact Community Relations Manager Margo Takata at margo@habitathawaiiisland.org or call (808)331-8010 ext 106.
