๐ŸŽ GivingTuesday Thank-You Gift! ๐ŸŽ

This GivingTuesday, anyone who donates $100 or more to our Baby Bassinet Campaign will have the option to receive a Kona Hospital Foundation Tote Bag or a Golf Cloth โ€” our small way of saying mahalo for supporting our moms and newborns. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ‘ถ

๐Ÿ’ก Bonus: Thanks to a generous community member, all donations are matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000, and new donorsโ€™ gifts are tripled! Thereโ€™s never been a better time to give.

We only have 25 of each thank-you gift, so these are available while supplies last. Your generosity helps us replace the worn, outdated bassinets at Kona Community Hospital and give every baby a safe, comfortable start.

Your Donation Dollars at Work!

Thanks to generous supporters, Kona Community Hospital now has a FerrAlert Halo II Plus Ferromagnetic Detection System.

This system helps keep patients, visitors, and staff safe by detecting metal objects before they enter sensitive areas like the MRI room. This new system adds an extra layer of protection so everyone can stay safe during scans.
