Muscular
Dystrophy Association (MDA) Hawaii Chapter Catch-a-Cure
Fifteen
ASCE Hawaii Section YMF, Student Chapter, and Section members volunteered
a part of their three-day weekend to help raise money for Hawaii’s Chapter
of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) during this year’s Jerry Lewis
MDA Labor Day Telethon. Stationed at the intersection of Piikoi Street
and Ala Moana Boulevard, volunteers from ASCE and local radio station STAR
101.9 displayed signs and beamed huge smiles while encouraging drivers
and passengers to empty loose change from their ashtrays and lighten their
wallets into fishnets. Over $3,200 was collected at the intersection
by the end of the day. All money raised during the telethon will
stay in Hawaii to provide services for patients suffering from neurological
and muscular diseases. |
