Locations Foundation Serves up Smiles at Family Programs Hawaii Holiday Party
The Locations Foundation was once again a proud sponsor of Family Programs Hawaii’s 27th Annual Holiday Party. On Sunday, December 7, 2025, we joined more than 750 volunteers from 50 companies and organizations at the Neal Blaisdell Center in Honolulu to make holiday magic for 900 children and families who are at risk or involved in Oahu’s child welfare system.
Attendees enjoyed holiday-themed activities and games, face-painting, visits with favorite characters, festive treats, presents, gift cards and more. Foundation volunteers manned the cotton candy station and helped to create a joyful, welcoming experience for guests.
A big mahalo to the following Locations agents and employees for pouring their time and energy into this heartwarming event: Ayumi Yamane, Cannie Chum, Carlton Mau, Carol Hayashi, Chris Boden, Cindy Fullmer, Dawn Nabeshima, Denise Smith, Dori Fujimori, Evelyn Rooney, Jodee Farm, Lindsey Itamoto, Nancy Nguyen, Shawn Baker, Shiho Wang and Tracey Okuhara.
“We’re proud to support Family Programs Hawaii and the important work they do year-round to uplift children and families in the foster care system,” said Locations Foundation Advisory Board member Cannie Chum, who led volunteers along with Locations Foundation Vice President Jodee Farm. “Our volunteers look forward to this event every year—it brings joy to our hearts to see keiki and families having fun and soaking up the holiday spirit.”

Locations Foundation Delivers Holiday Gifts to Local Residents in Need
In December 2025, the Locations Foundation was honored to support three local organizations doing vital work for our community: The Salvation Army Kauluwela Corps, Kahauiki Village and RYSE Hawaii. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers, we were able to deliver extra holiday joy to local residents in low-income communities.
