One of Hawaii’s favourite surfing sons; Pancho Sullivan has a beautiful family of 3 kids with his wife Haunani, however their youngest daughter Kehau was born with a heart defect and requires a series of expensive open heart surgeries. Although Pancho is a very responsible family guy and has what he thought was bullet-proof insurance, It’s still going to cost them over 150K beyond what the insurance covers. Once we all heard about it, a trust fund was set up in Kehau’s name and it’s been pretty much growing from there.
Our good friend Joni Lee James from Tasmania is a bit of philanthropist and pretty much took the bull by the horns to make this music fundraiser happen. Joni was actually in a car accident on Maui last year while visiting the islands and formed a deep bond with the islands and their people while she was recovering in hospital. Through her efforts in just a couple of short weeks, we are looking at one of the best ever line-ups of Hawaiian musicians under one roof at one time. Rumour has it that there might be a band reunion or two as well. This is shaping up to be one mighty good show, so folks, let your friends know to come on down to the Hard Rock cafe in Honolulu from 4-10pm on friday the 5th of March. There will also be a silent auction of surfboards, art and some very unique collectables. Also, there will be an art showing from Jay Alders and Sean Davey More details can be found at Kehau’s website.
