๐๐ Mahalo to an Incredible Community! ๐๐
The Paradise High School Bobcats are incredibly grateful for the hospitality, generosity, and hard work that made our Equity Bowl trip so special. The memories created off the field were just as meaningful as those made on it!
A huge thank you to Taverna for treating our team to a wonderful meal and welcoming our Bobcats with such incredible hospitality. Your generosity meant so much to our students and coaches!
We are also incredibly thankful to Chef Zach Sato, owner of Havens Harborside, for hosting a beautiful dinner for the PHS Bobcats, Lahainaluna Lunas, and their families. It was a special evening of food, friendship, and connection that truly captured the spirit of this experience. All those who supported the evening are listed at the end of the post.
And we cannot thank April Kelli, and the entire team at Nicโs Restaurant enough for working tirelessly behind the scenes to make both of these incredible bonding meals possible. Your time, effort, and generosity helped bring two communities together in a meaningful way.
This trip was about so much more than football. It was about connection, friendship, healing, and two communities supporting one another.
From the entire Paradise High School family โ thank you, mahalo, and we are so grateful! ๐บ๐๐๐
