Clark Realty Community Fund: Supporting Hamakua Youth Center

With fundraising for this year’s Clark Realty Corporation Community Fund campaign well underway, I’d like to introduce you to another of our 2011 grantees: Hamakua Youth Center. The mission of the Center is to provide programs that emphasize leadership training, environmental stewardship, music, the visual arts and exploration of the many cultures represented in the community. The value of the Youth Center programs is incalculable and I hope that you will join me in supporting them this year through a donation to CRCCF.
