RPJ especially thanks the players, coaches and parents of Ka Ulukoa. Not only did the club enter two teams into the men’s tournament, it provided volunteer scorekeepers and line judges and helped plan and coordinate the entire tournament.

The popular shave ice booth was staffed by fellow jaycees from various chapters.

The chapter also thanks the Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory and Lava Dogs for the great food and the Adopt-A-School Day volunteers for the tasty shave ice. Much aloha also to Na’a Makekau for the t-shirt design, Unlimited Designs for the t-shirt and banner printing, Remington College for the team captains’ back massages, and Aunty Candy’s for bringing some of her volleyball items to the fair.

All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Rising Phoenix Jaycees’ Third Annual Keiki Movie Day, an event that sponsors a day of fun and games at the movies for local special needs keiki.
