Humahumanukanukaa Launch Dole Ice Cream Giveaway
HONOLULU-The Honolulu Humahumanukanukapauaa have announced throughout the season they will be giving away free Dole Whip ice cream to fans who trade in gently worn clothing items for local homeless. This will take place at Aloha Stadium at all home games.

Hawaii continues to have the highest per capita rate of homelessness in the country. With 7,220 homeless people counted across the islands in January of 2017 as part of an annual, nation-wide homeless census meaning Hawaii had a rate of 51 homeless people for every 10,000 individuals across the state.
Our main goals through this giveaway is to increase peoples attention and interest in decreasing homelessness and poverty in Hawaii.
With Dole having a sponsorship with Humahumanukanukapauaa, they will be providing the ice cream directly to the stadium. Giving fans the opportunity to have great quality treats.
Each step towards decreasing homelessness and poverty is a step towards improving the culture of Hawaii. This giveaway is a chance for our team to enhance our community.
