Habitat for Humanity’s Build-a-Thon

Build-a-Thon is a fun way to help Kaua‘i Habitat for Humanity raise funds while working on an affordable housing project. Builds may include new home construction or home repairs.

In August, numerous members of The Kaua‘i Board of REALTORS® participated in two Build-a-Thons in ‘Ele‘ele and Anahola.

Big Mahalo to all the volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules to go lend a helping hand and work alongside future homeowners in these two subdivisions.

Scramble for Scholarship

Hannah Sirois of Elite Pacific Properties together with D.R. Horton Hawaii held their annual Scramble for Scholarship on Sept. 21. The Scramble was a three-hole golf tournament held at Kiahuna Golf Course in Po‘ipu.

This fun event, brought South Shore real estate firms together in good cheer and for a good cause: raising funds for the Kaua‘i Board of REALTORS® Scholarship Fund. Six teams, each team including six players, for a total of 36 golfers played three holes of golf in a best ball format.

This year, $4,550 was raised through donations generated by realtors and community participants and then donated to the Kaua‘i Board of REALTORS® Scholarship Fund.
