Boys & Girls Club of the Big Island recently announced it was the 2018 fourth quarter beneficiary of Ohana Fuels’ “Fuel Up. Do Good.” program, receiving a donation of $7,879.32.
Ohana Fuels partners with nonprofit organizations serving the local community and donates a portion of the proceeds from every gallon of gasoline purchased at its stations in that community.
For more than 66 years, Boys & Girls Club of the Big Island has provided safe, fun and quality after-school care and enrichment programs to the youth of Hawaii Island. As a nonprofit organization, the agency provides nurturing activites for youth ages 6-18 years old at its facilities in Hilo, Keaau, Pahala, Pahoa, Ocean View and Kealakehe.
“Ohana Fuels has been an outstanding supporter of our youth development programs throughout Hawaii Island, and we thank them for the partnership,” said BGCBI Chief Executive Officer Chad Cabral. “This funding will be dedicated to support our Kealakehe kids, providing them with daily academic support, cultural enrichment, athletic equipment and nutritional supplementation.”
“We are happy to honor the Boys & Girls Club for its work on the Big Island,” said Kimo Haynes, president of Hawaii Petroleum. “They provide a great service to local youth and families, and we at Ohana Fuels look forward to offering them, and other deserving organizations, continued support through our ‘Fuel Up. Do Good.’ program in the future.”
