PBS HAWAII campaign for new home in Honolulu

Presss Release by PBS Hawaii

New Home campaign program November 18 at 6:30 PM

'Best Hawaii Vacation blog' shares another time one of PBS Hawaii's press releases with its visitors. By doing so, we hope that more of our visitors watch this program by Hawaii Public Broadcasting on November 18 to generate enough money for a new home of PBS Hawaii in Honolulu. We all take advantage of the quality programs by our Hawaii PBS station. Now let's give something back.

A star-studded cast of Hawaii residents will appear on PBS Hawaii Sunday, November 18 at 6:30 pm HST to help the statewide public television station engage public support for its campaign to build a new home. The 90-minute live broadcast of the NEW HOME Campaign is available online via livestreaming on PBS Hawaii

The program will be rebroadcast and also available online on Thursday, November 22 at 8:00 pm HST. Broadway performer Loretta Ables Sayre will host the program, featuring slack key guitar master Keola Beamer; singer Marlene Sai; YouTube sensation Ryan Higa; singer/composer Paula Fuga; jazz singer and PBS Hawaii Board member Jimmy Borges; singer/musician and PBS Hawaii Board member Kawika Kahiapo; entertainer Danny Kaleikini; slam poet Kealoha; voice coach Neva Rego; ukulele impresario Roy Sakuma; storyteller and Enterprise Honolulu President and CEO Pono Shim; Searider Productions educator Candy Suiso; Hawaii and San Francisco public broadcasting executive Mary Bitterman; and iconic artist Pegge Hopper. Singers will be accompanied by Dan Del Negro on the piano and John Kolivas on bass.

The program is intended to raise public awareness and financial support for a $30 million capital campaign to develop a site that the station purchased at 315 Sand Island Access Road at Nimitz Highway. PBS Hawaii must vacate the University of Hawaii Manoa building it has occupied for 40 years because the university needs the space for expansion.
