“The club brings together the cuisine of local chefs, award-winning music, as well as a variety of wine, beer and mix-drink offerings to create an all-you-can-eat event that helps raise much needed funds to support our local community,” said Kim Arakawa, Rotary Club of South Hilo president. “It’s a fantastic way to have a really great time while helping uplift the life of our community.”
To date, the Rotary Club of South Hilo’s Hilo Huli has raised more than $200,000 used to serve needs in the local community, as well as international projects.
Proceeds from this year’s event will go toward pediatric unit renovations at Hilo Medical Center, Hospice of Hilo’s Children’s Bereavement Program and Hilo Bayfront Trails.
