In the spirit of Love, we come together to expose false limitations while celebrating the fullness of Life. We will be playing with various forms of movement such as yoga and dance, basking, relaxing and exploring beautiful tropical settings, eating delicious chef-inspired meals, taking island adventures and creating through art and music.

World Oceans Day: 3rd Annual ZUMBA WITH SUELANG FUNDRAISER for Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i
2015-05-24 09:30 - 11:00 | Fresh Cafe, 831 Queen St, Honolulu, HI, 96813, United States
Aloha friends, that time of year is rolling back around again and I am so happy that I will be able to continue my now annual tradition of hosting a super fun World Oceans Day Hawai‘i Zumba party in order to raise awareness and $s for the inspiring non-profit org Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii.
Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i are a team of dedicated, passionate people who inspire local communities to care for their coastlines though hands-on beach clean ups. My family and I are at the beach enjoying the surf and snorkeling nearly every week and are always devastated by the huge amounts of marine debris we come across both in and out of the water. We always do our best to get as much of it as we can but sadly, it is often an overwhelming amount that we simply don't have the time or resources to do alone. That's why we support Sustainable Coastlines. In the last 3 years they have managed to organise over 6,000 volunteers to remove over 45,000 lbs of marine debris from O'ahu's beautiful beaches. Our heroes!
As you know, I usually hold the event on World Oceans Day (8th June) however this year it'll have be a couple weeks before on Sunday 24th May to coincide with my quick visit over your way to O'ahu.
Since I am coordinating this off island, rather than doing a big raffle at half time I'm going to make it a little simpler and instead do a few great door-prizes that we'll draw at half time.
Here are the details:
What:
World Oceans Day: ZUMBA WITH SUELANG FUNDRAISER for Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i
When:
SUNDAY 24TH MAY 2015 9:30-11:00
Where:
FRESH CAFE'S LOFT IN SPACE, Queen St, Kaka'ako.
Who:
Me, You and EVERYONE WE KNOW!! All are welcome to come join in this fun time. All ages, all fitness levels, all body shapes and sizes… NO previous Zumba experience required. Just a desire to have a good time amongst like-minded people.
Price:
$10 per person at the door to include a raffle ticket for a door-prize. A further 3 raffle tickets can be purchased for an extra $5. All proceeds will go to Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii.
I have missed you all and am really looking forward to this chance to see your smiling sweaty (haha) faces again as we all Zumba and shake our booty's for an amazing cause.
Please help me spread the word about this event by sharing it on your facebook page, inviting your facebook friends and telling everyone you know about it.
Much love and aloha from the Big Island of Hawai'i.
