"We couldn't be more excited about opening our first store in Hawaii," said Brian Tatsumura, Nordstrom Ala Moana Center store manager. "At Nordstrom, supporting our community is a key part of doing business and we are especially honored to be partnering with these three organizations. The arts and children are an important part of Hawaii's legacy and future."
Honorary Chairs for the evening are Al and Sue Landon. The event co-chairs Allison Holt Gendreau, Beth Bowlen Harbottle and Jean Rolles are working diligently to ensure the nights' success. Nordstrom Ala Moana Center will open on Friday, March 7, 2008.
The mission of Bishop Museum is to study, preserve, and tell the stories of the natural and cultural history of Hawaii and the Pacific. Bishop Museum is recognized as the principal museum of the Pacific, housing the world's largest collection of Hawaiian and Pacific artifacts and natural history specimens.
The Hawaii Theatre Center was established in 1984 as a private nonprofit organization to restore and operate the historic Hawaii Theatre as a multi-purpose performance facility for artistic, cultural, entertainment and educational events and to promote the redevelopment of the downtown Honolulu/Chinatown area.
Listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places, the 1,400-seat Hawaii Theatre was recognized by the League of Historic American Theatre as the 2005 Outstanding Historic Theatre in America. In 2006, the organization received a National Preservation Honor Award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Theatre celebrated its 85th anniversary in September, 2007.
HUGS (an acronym for Help, Understanding & Group Support) is a non-profit agency, unique to Hawaii, whose mission is to provide a wide variety of free support services to families across the state, who have a child, birth to age 21, diagnosed as having a life-threatening illness or a medically fragile condition.
HUGS serves the entire family by facilitating peer interaction at family gatherings and coordinating volunteers who provide family support, hospital visits, and respite care. The agency is a common link in the state of Hawaii for families experiencing similar problems as a result of their child's illness. On any given day, HUGS serves approximately 150 families across the state. HUGS has supported Hawaii's seriously ill children and their families free of charge for more than 25 years.
