Dice Run Recap

Bikers from various clubs around the island revved up their engines to come out to support the Oahu SPCA at a fundraiser recently held by a local motorcycle club, Kahu O Na Holoholona (Guardian of the Animals).  Bacardi and Geico were also sponsors of the event with proceeds benefitting the care of more than 75 dogs and 60 cats at the no kill shelter in Kapolei. 

Participants on the four stop run also had the chance to take a tour of the facility and visit many of the animals and meet the staff and volunteers.  According to Executive Director, Jody Bade-DeViney, the fundraiser brought additional exposure from the community and proved to be a busy one for them that weekend with nearly 24 dogs and cats finding forever homes.   “This is an example of how a community-based organization has banded together to come to the aid of a grass roots non-profit animal rescue shelter,” added Stephanie Ryan, OSPCA President and Co-Founder.

A special mahalo to Bryan and Amanda Beland for all of their incredible efforts to make this event a success!  If only the world were full of more kind, generous people like the two of you!
