We're still feeling the glow from our 2022 Remarkable People fundraiser--mahalo Hawaii Tribune-Herald for today's beautiful coverage in the Community section! The event netted a record $25,635, which directly supports YWCA of Hawaii Island's three core programs: Developmental Preschool, Healthy Families and Sexual Assault Support Services. Thank you to our volunteers, attendees, donors and especially our 2022 Remarkable People honorees: Debra Ching Maiava (Ken's House of Pancakes & Ponds Hilo) and the family of the late David De Luz, Sr. (@Deluzchevrolet, Big Island Toyota). This community is incredible.
