The center is raising funds to purchase permanent shade structures for three of its sites, including the Big House as well as satellite classrooms at Kuhi&#333; and Noelani elementary schools.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, the great Chinese Banyan at the Big House was cut down due to safety concerns. Known at the center as the &ldquo;Story Tree,&rdquo; it had been planted in 1942, shaded the playground and was often the site of story times. The playgrounds at the center&#8217;s other two sites were never so fortunate to have such a tree. To keep the children cool, the <abbr>UH<\/abbr> M&#257;noa Children&#8217;s Center is now seeking shade for all three sites.<\/p>\n<p>Silent auction items include jewelry, signed <abbr>UH<\/abbr> Warriors footballs, art, family-fun opportunities such as movie tickets and passes, restaurant gift certificates and special baskets made by each of the center&#8217;s classes.<\/p>\n<p>Door prizes and light pupus will be available. There will also be entertainment by Vance Drive as well as Uncle Wayne and the Howling Dog Band. There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door.<\/p>\n<p>If unable to attend, donations may also be made online.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1.
