Kamoi-Snack-N-Go will host its first “Scoop for Schools” on Feb. 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. Thirty percent of proceeds raised from ice cream sales at Kamoi’s during this three hour fun-raiser will go to support one of our local schools. For this inaugural event, Kamoi has chosen Kualapu`u School’s “East Coast Trip” as the beneficiary of monies received.

“We thought this would be a great way to give back to our community and our schools. We hope to coordinate this fun-raiser four to six times per year,” said Kamoi Snack-N-Go’s manager, Kimberly Svetin, the event’s originator.

For the past six months, she observed this group of 30 fifth and sixth graders working hard to earn the funding necessary to travel to the East Coast in May 2011, and approached Kualapu`u School with her fundraising idea.

Please come out and support 30 enthusiastic, hard-working students from Kualapu`u School and buy a double scoop or sundae or other treat at Kamoi Snack-N-Go between 6 and 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 16. Mahalo!
