Jocelyn Naomi Tangitau--1st Annual South Pacific Luau
Attend an authentic Luau to raise funds for local families of Terminally Diagnosed Children. Festivties to include prizes, silent auction, entertainment & Polynesian fare!
Jocelyn Naomi Tangitau was diagnosed with SMA Type I at the age of 6 months on July 25, 2010. She was given a prognosis of 2 years to live. She has beaten the odds and today she is a beautiful 4-year-old.This is due to the love, care, and support she is provided.
Jocelyn has currently outgrown her manual KidKart Wheelchair and can no longer be legally transported within any vehicle besides a handicap accessible van. Insurance does not assist families in obtaining such vehicles and there is little to no support from state/government agencies or charities to provide the thousands of families across the country with such necessary transportation.
This fundraiser & new Non-Profit Organization is in it's infancy stages.
Why a luau? In our Polynesian culture it is tradition to unite participants & to celebrate life events in a "BIG WAY"! Of course this means lots of food, families & FUN! In our daughter's name, we have been inspired to host an annual luau to always honor & remember her and the joy she has brought to our lives.
"Whenever you are at a luau, you are OHANA---family"---PCC Ambassador of Aloha.
With the monies raised at our 1st Annual Fundraiser this year, we are hoping to provide Jocelyn with a handicapped accessible van so we can transport her safely, legally & comfortably. Without a van, she is going to miss what life can continue to offer her. She will not be able to leave home.
We believe every family should have the needs to allow their child affected with a terminal illness to live as hassle-free as possible. This includes being transported to and from medical appointments, family gatherings and school.
So bring the family, tell your friends and "leave your worries behind".
Attend the 1st Annual South Pacific Luau for Jocelyn Naomi Tangitau!
