🏃♂️ Volunteers Needed: Hapalua Half-Marathon Parking! 🏃♀️
The Hapalua Half-Marathon is right around the corner on Sunday morning April 12, 2026, and Waikiki School is joining the action! The race organizers will make a generous donation to the Waikiki School PTO to utilize our Front Lot and Leahi Field for volunteer and participant parking.
Why this is a "Win-Win" Fundraiser: This is one of our favorite ways to raise funds because it does not financially tax our school families. Instead of asking for donations, we are only asking for your time. However, to keep these types of effortless fundraisers coming, having volunteers is absolutely vital. We don't need to collect any money—we just need friendly faces to help park cars in an orderly and safe manner!
Note: Since we are managing two locations (Front Lot and Leahi Field), we need a solid team for each shift to ensure everything stays safe and organized.

Thank you for giving your time to support the Waikiki School PTO!
