UPDATE: Hawaiian Luau fundraiser postponed to 13 June

Hedge Funds Care Cayman’s Committee of Hope has rescheduled its second annual Hawaiian Luau event, dubbed ‘Hawaii Three-0’, to 13 June due to inclement weather.

The fundraiser will be held at the Royal Palms Beach Club.

Attendees are invited to kick off their shoes, break their loud, flowered shirts out of the closet, and don a Hawaiian lei for the occasion. There will be limbo on the beach, followed by flame-throwing fire dancers and the chance to win one of a host of raffle prizes. Raffle tickets will be on sale on the night.

The Hawaiian word luau refers to the young edible leaves of the taro plant. These leaves were traditionally used to wrap food that was placed in an imu (underground oven) for a feast.

Proceeds from all Committee of Hope events go to Hedge Funds Care Cayman, a charity designed to fund organisations that prevent and treat child abuse in Cayman.
