On February 17th A&A held an open house event at our HQ- Ohana House. Our biggest draw card for our event was a raffle in which local business generously donated thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes; we also offered a barbeque, face painting, hair braiding and a disco. We aimed to raise $2000, which we succeeded and surpassed with our total fundraising efforts coming in at $2,195.00.
We received some great feedback from community members of ways we could improve our event and it was suggested that it should become an inaugural event.
Once again A&A would like to give many thanks to the local businesses that donated prizes and resources for our event, to our volunteers for assisting everything to run smoothly on the day itself, to our staff for their many efforts and last but not least to our community for supporting us and for supporting this very worthy cause.
