Aloha United Way Kickball!

On August 14th, Aloha United Way held their annual Kickball tournament at Waipio Soccer Complex. It was a great turnout with companies and celebrities participating in the kickball tournament to raise funds for Aloha United Way and the many programs they support throughout our state.

Some of the companies were Pepsi, Enterprise, Nordic Construction PCL, and FedEx to name a few. Each team was paired with a celebrity, with personalities like Slick Vic, DJ Maleko from Hot 93.9, Crystal Akana from 98.5FM, and even Mrs Hawaii Porche DeBenito, and Miss Hawaii Jalee Fuselier. Emcees, Billy V and Dave Vinton from OC16 kept the program sunning smoothly throughout the event.
