2015 KS Kapālama Hoʻolaulea

March 12, 2015

The 90th Annual KS Kapālama campus Hoʻolauleʻa was held February 28 on Konia Field. More than 10,000 attended the event that had something for everyone. Food, entertainment, rides, games and shopping were available all day long.

Over 2,000 volunteers and generous donations make Hoʻolauleʻa possible each year, and the estimated $110,000 to $130,000 raised from each event go toward supporting student enrichment grants including guest artists, field trips, travel, entry fees for plays, educational and cultural programs and special student projects.

KS photographer Michael Young was at the event to capture the excitement.
