Messages from our Sponsors:
Armed Services YMCA - Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) of Honolulu has provided for military personnel and their families since 1917. Now in our 100th year in Hawaii, we are proud to have served the military longer, and in larger numbers, than any other nonprofit. As we've done so, we have progressed with the times; our historic dance band competitions have become Father Daughter Dances, our WWII letter writing service has been replaced by Parent Participation Preschool, and our game rooms have evolved into robotics camps. All the while we've remained on the scene, providing programs and services relevant to the demands of military life.
As we celebrate our 100th year in Hawaii, we are both humbled and privileged to support the brave men and women who serve our country. At ASYMCA of Honolulu, we have both a history and a future, and because of the community's support, we can look with pride and certainty in both directions.
JN Group - At JN Group we are appreciative of our Military and respect the sacrifices made to maintain the freedoms we all enjoy. Over Memorial Day weekend, JN Group will honor the service of those Patriots who gave their full measure in the defense of our Nation. JN Group will support our Military by highlighting our Patriot Program and the many benefits offered to Military members, DoD employees and their families. Our 22 exciting brands will be on full display at our 3 locations: JN Chevrolet on N. Nimitz Highway, Velocity Honolulu next to the Blaisdell and on location at Beachfest 2017 at Hickam Harbor. Please stop by one of our locations to see what we have to offer. Always serving those that serve... the JN Patriot Program provides the opportunity for Heroes and their Families to drive with us.
GEICO - Mahalo from GEICO for all you do as we celebrate Military Appreciation month here in Hawaii!!
