Sheraton Kauai Resort Names The Wai‘ale‘ale Project Table 53 Beneficiary for February 2016

Sheraton Kauai Resort is proud to announce the University of Hawai‘i Foundation’s Wai‘ale‘ale Project at Kaua‘i Community College has been selected as its February 2016 beneficiary for the Table 53 program. Net proceeds for all food & beverage at Table #53 in the oceanfront RumFire Poipu Beach restaurant will be used to fund scholarships for high school students and adults toward the attainment of an Associate’s degree. Over $130,000 has been raised for worthy causes through the Table 53 program since its inception in October 2012.

The University of Hawai‘i Foundation’s mission is to unite donors’ passions with The University of Hawai‘i’s aspirations by raising philanthropic support and managing private investments to benefit The University of Hawai‘i, the people of Hawai‘i and our future generations. The Wai‘ale‘ale Project at Kaua‘i Community College encourages continued education by benefitting those who have never been to college and never considered attending college as an option prior to the foundation’s support.

The Table 53 program is offered at RumFire Poipu Beach, Kaua‘i’s oceanfront hot spot, featuring locally sourced cuisine with global influences, exciting cocktails to ignite your palate and over 180-degree oceanfront views from all of its 240 seats. Table 53 features private booth seating overlooking the beautifully landscaped Ocean Courtyard, inviting fire pits and stunning sunsets. Guests can enjoy nightly specials and signature RumFire favorites all while supporting a great cause. The resort encourages guests, “The more you dine, the more we donate.”

Patrons who are interested in participating in RumFire’s Table 53 program are encouraged to make reservations in advance by calling808.742.4786 and requesting Table #53. The table is available on a first come, first served basis. Net proceeds for all food and beverage at Table #53 during dinner service will be donated to The University of Hawai‘i Foundation’s Wai‘ale‘ale Project at Kaua‘i Community College, gratuity will be paid to the server and taxes will be remitted to the State of Hawai‘i.
