On Saturday, February 11, Hawai'i Canines for Independence will host its annual Valentine's Benefit and auction. This event will be held at Gannon's Restaurant and will start at 5:30 p.m.
Of course, Gannon's Restaurant means amazing food from award-winning chef Bev Gannon. There will also be live music by the David Choy Jazz Trio. And let's not forget about the live and silent auctions (I hear there will be jewelry from Tiffany & Co. among the many great auction items). Gannon's Restaurant is located at 100 Wailea Golf Club Drive in Wailea.
Hawai'i Canines for Independence was founded in 2000 to raise, train, and place Assistance Dogs throughout the State of Hawai'i. They have graduated over 30 service teams since then and continue to expand their range of services. These additional services now include training Seizure Response Dogs, Facility Dogs for hospitals, Therapy Teams to visit local nursing homes--and two which I really admire--Courthouse Dogs for children who have been victims of crimes and assistance dogs for veterans called the Wounded Warrior Program. Imagine the difference a service dog makes to the lives of people receiving these wonderful dogs.
This Valentine's Benefit and your on-going support allows the Hawai'i Canines for Independence to continue their amazing work throughout the State. For tickets, please call 298-0167.
