Maunalua Bay Foundation Gets $10,000
The Independence Day at Maunalua Bay Foundation board accepted Walgreens’ donation of $10,000, which enabled it to hold the event debt-free. This allows Maunalua Bay Foundation to start off next year’s fundraising without any recovery of funds. More importantly, it will be able to award a scholarship this year, which is a part of its core mission.
