Big Mahalo to Kokua Festival Attendees, Volunteers, Performers and Supporters!

April 24, 2008

The 2008 Kokua Festival was a huge success. Everyone enjoyed the sensational music and activities. The Kokua Booth Village was a buzz with people learning and sharing the latest ideas in how to be green. We are especially excited about the interest and participation our attendees and fans took in all our greening measures, especially with the Earthday Resolutions and Kokua Festival Passports. Fans that weren't able to be inside the venue, still had the opportunity to hear the music from the surrounding park and make their Earthday Resolutions as well. Keep an eye on the Kokua Hawaii Foundation website to gage the impact we made together.

Mahalo nui loa for another amazing year!
