Mahalo nui to Ticket to Dream Foundation, The Joyce Foundation, Hawaiʻi Institute of Hair Design, Fisher Hawaiʻi, Delivering Good, and Friends of CASA Hawaiʻi for allowing us to have another successful Back to School shopping event! We were able to provide school supplies to 75 keiki in hopes of getting them excited to get back to school. Our CASA keiki and families were invited to come to Fisher Hawaiʻi, shop and CHOOSE their own supplies (including a backpack and water bottle) on our tab! When they were done shopping, HIHD was on site providing FREE haircuts. The keiki were then able to take home donated brand new hair accessories and Ralph Lauren clothing and then we sent them on their way with snacks and a drink. The CASA staff did an excellent job with putting this all together for our families and everyone left smiling! It really takes a village, and thanks to our partners, we’ve got a GREAT village!
