OceanFest Kickoff Party at Compadres |
It was a great night!
More than $18,000 was raised in the surfboard auction. Cindy Foster and Tom McTigue were two of the many generous bidders. Everybody enjoyed Compadres Bar & Grill's Firecracker Shrimp, Chicken Chingalinga, Hot Grilled Salmon, Corona's & Margaritas. It looks like this year's Duke's OceanFest is off to a good start.
A very special fundraiser takes place Wednesday, March 12, at Compadres Bar & Grill when a number of artistically designed surfboards will be auctioned off to benefit the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation (ODKF).
Several local artists, shapers and surfers have contributed their remarkable talents to create a set of collectible surfboard art in the spirit of this year’s Duke’s OceanFest. These beautiful, signature pieces of art are just as appropriate for display on a wall as riding the waves. Proceeds raised will be donated to ODKF’s scholarships and grants program.
The 2008 Duke’s OceanFest will present a series of fun and exciting surfing and ocean sports events, August 17-24, at Waikiki Beach. Duke’s OceanFest is held to honor the legacy of Duke Kahanamoku and help support ODKF.
