It was a great day for a golf tournament! The Foundation was gifted a fundraising hole at the @hrahawaii golf tournament at the beautiful @pearlatkalauao course. We enlisted golf pro Alex Hofstrand for our popular "Pro Shot for Pro Start" fundraiser. This year, we exceeded our fundraising goal thanks to the golfers and our generous sponsors @manson_products and @kuleanarumworks
