Lahaina concert benefits school

Support Hawaiian immersion school Punana Leo o Lahaina at Saturday’s Lahaina Strong Benefit Concert hosted by Fleetwood’s on Front St.

Last year’s inaugural event raised over $10,000 to help those affected by Hurricane Lane. “This year we thought if we can raise that kind of money in the face of tragedy and help to bring a community together, why not choose another local cause and do it again?” said Fleetwood’s General Manager Ashley Leal.

The concert starts at 8 p.m.; performers include I-Drive and Soul Easy. Tickets are $10 at the door. Contact 669-MICK or donate directly at fleetwoodsonfrontst.com/punana-leo.
