Grassroots Benefit Keiki Design Contest

2014 Grassroots Benefit Committee News Release

A Second Annual Grassroots Benefit event will be held on Saturday, July 5 at the Kaunakakai Ballpark. This family oriented, educational, community event raises funds for the Ho`ola Hou Community-Based scholarship  — 100 percent of ticket proceeds are donated to the fund. The event also promotes local, organic farmers, and emphasizes healthy environment, lifestyle, food, and families – from keiki to kupuna.  This year’s theme is Aloha `Aina.

The purpose of the 2014 Grassroots Benefit – Keiki Design Contest is to inspire keiki to express and demonstrate an understanding of the Hawaiian concept “Aloha `Aina” through art, and to establish a theme design for the 2014 Grassroots Benefit event.

Molokai public, private, and home school keiki enrolled in grades Kindergarten through 12 are eligible. The deadline for entries is Friday, Feb. 28. Winning design will be used on printed materials and displayed.

Entry forms may be found at Kalele Bookstore, Molokai Community Service Council or downloaded and printed at theMOMhui.com under Events.
