“We are not hosting the Haʻikū Hoʻolauleʻa and Flower Festival this year, however, the primary beneficiary of this auction is the same; Haʻikū School PTA,” said auction co-chairs Melody Smythe and Jen Kramer. “We are hoping to match the great success of our last auction. Not only did parents, teachers, staff, and community come together to raise a significant amount of money for our keiki, but winners benefited from generous offers from local businesses and organizations across the island. It truly is a win-win for everyone.”
