With the holiday season approaching, philanthropic Big Island residents are coming together to give time, energy, money and other gifts to various charity events. West Hawaii Today is compiling a list of these holiday charity events in our coverage area, which is from Kohala through Kona to Ka’u.
The deadline for submissions is by 5 p.m. Nov. 14 and will be strictly enforced. Submissions should be kept as brief as possible and include pertinent details, such as who is offering the event; time, date and where it will be held; what’s needed, being collected or donated; the cost; and contact information.
Submissions will be edited to the newspaper staff’s discretion. Events costing $100 or more will not be published in this list. While West Hawaii Today makes every effort to accommodate all holiday charity event submissions, publication is not guaranteed. Space, content and parity will be considered.
Submissions should be emailed to clucas-zenk@westhawaiitoday.com or wht@aloha.net and include “Holiday Charity Events” in the subject line.
For more information, call Reporter Carolyn Lucas-Zenk at 930-8624.
