KOHALA COAST — The numbers are just in: The 7th Annual “Taste of Mauna Lani” event raised 50 percent more than last year. The fundraiser benefits Hawaii Island Food Basket.
Held over three weeks in September, participating restaurants offered specially discounted three-course prix-fixe dinners with a portion of each sale donated to Hawaii Island Food Basket. Tommy Bahama Restaurant &Bar at The Shops at Mauna Lani contributed more than $1,000 from sales during the event.
Other participating restaurants included Ruth’s Chris Steak House, The Blue Room Brasserie &Bar and Monstera Noodles &Sushi. CanoeHouse at Mauna Lani Bay Hotel &Bungalow was the second highest contributor with more than $500 donated to the charity. A new participant this year was Brown’s Beach House at The Fairmont Orchid. In addition, The Shops at Mauna Lani made a 20 percent matching contribution to all funds raised by the restaurants.
“With everyone’s participation in this event, a total of $3,000 was raised by ‘Taste of Mauna Lani,’ which is a significant increase over last year’s amount,” said General Manager Michael Oh on the event that raised $2,000 last year. “We are always looking for ways to give back, especially to the Food Basket, who works so hard all year round to help the people who need it most in our community.”
