The Big Island Substance Abuse Council hosted one of its annual events recently in Na‘alehu, the Ka’u Splash Bash, which celebrated community, promoted positive messages and provided opportunities to enhance family relationships.
More than 40 organizations participated in providing the community with resources and family fun activities. In true style, BISAC had carnival games, entertainment, massive water slides, prom dress distribution, a water balloon battle of more than 4,000 balloons, and closed the event with a Bubblicious Foam Fest.
Hundreds of children and adults took part in the bash.
“This event was just amazing,” said Dr. Hannah Preston-Pita, BISAC’s CEO. “To see the community come together in celebration of their families while learning positive messages, made for a very successful event. We are already gearing up and taking Splash Bash to Kona in October, so come out and join us.”
Since 1964, BISAC has inspired individuals and families to reclaim and enrich their lives in the wake of the ravages of substance abuse and mental health. It offers a continuum of services that are culturally appropriate and aligned with the ever-changing behavioral health field.
