Aloha! TEAM BLINDSTART is hosting a Luau Benefit on October 23! There will be polynesian dancers, a live band, games, raffles, food from the loft and more!
Volunteers will assist with decorating, clean-up, food distribution, games, raffles, auctions, and much more! Some can guide our Visually Impaired People (VIP). There will be a guide dog petting booth.
Please make sure to dress in Hawaiian clothing and invite friends for the Luau! Anyone volunteering for the entire night will be given a free dinner from The Loft Hawaiian Restaurant. For more information, please call us at 562-282-0123 or email me at myu@blindstart.org. Thanks for helping the blind cross finish lines!
