11th Annual Awards Dinner and Silent Auction
September 6, 2008 • Fairmont Orchid Hotel
This year our Big Island community continued to show their enthusiastic support of our outstanding Hawaii Fire Department. With the generosity of our dedicated donors and event attendees we raised $26,000 with the Silent Auction; an additional $2,100 in Calabash Donations; $21,000 in Financial Contributions; $800 for specific equipment needed; and received 71 Fire Department Personnel dinners sponsorships. The continued support is greatly appreciated.
For the second year, Lt. Governor Duke Aiona was the featured speaker at the Daniel R. Sayre Memorial Foundation’s Annual Dinner honoring and supporting the Hawaii County Fire Department here on the Big Island.
Lt. Governor Aiona understands the critical role that the Foundation serves in providing much needed equipment and training for our outstanding and dedicated Hawaii Fire Department.
Presenting Commendations this year were Senator Lorraine Inouye and Representative Cindy Evans pictured here with award recipient Garrett Nishihara.
Councilman Angel Pilago presented Commendations for the County of Hawaii. Pictured here, Councilman Angel Pilago, Councilman Pete Hoffman, and award recipient Charles Spain.
