Hospice agencies receive funding
North Hawaii Hospice, Hilo Hospice and Hospice of Kona have received a $12,500 donation from Bank of Hawaii.
The donation, funded by a teri beef plate sale, was an employee-driven effort. Bank of Hawaii employees voted to choose the three hospice organizations as beneficiaries. The employees and hospice organizations sold 1,348 teri beef plate tickets islandwide.
More than 80 volunteers, the majority being Bank of Hawaii employees, volunteered more than 360 hours of their time to prepare, cook and serve the teri beef plates.
In addition to the manpower provided by local Bank of Hawaii representatives, the bank’s foundation also matched the funds raised with a $5,000 grant. KTA Super Stores provided the products and space for the fundraiser to take place.
