More than 200 people, many who were decked out in cowboy attire, attended North Hawaii Hospice’s annual charity event Feb. 24 at Waikii Ranch. With a “High Country Tea” theme this year, $60,000 was netted for patient care services, part of which came from a special auction that brought in $23,000 in direct donations.

It was the Hospice’s most successful fundraiser to date.
