Sacred Hearts Academy supported the Friends of Windward Wounded Warrior Foundation, a program of the Honolulu Council of the Navy League through drinks sold by Taste Tea.
The fundraiser on Nov. 19 and 23 featured drinks from Taste Tea after school from 1 to 5 p.m. with 20 percent of sales going to the foundation. The donated funds will be used to benefit service members in Hawaii.
Director of Student Activities Toni Normand said, “We partnered with Taste Tea because we noticed students frequently coming to school with Taste Tea beverages. We hope that this fundraiser will be popular and students will be encouraged to buy.”
Friends of Windward Wounded Warrior Foundation aims to improve the lives of recovering service members and their families by supporting military families through physical, mental and spiritual transitions.
The money will benefit the foundation through sales to the Academy community. The high school raised $1,127 dollars from Taste Tea sales and donations.
The lower school raised $1,198 from Dress Down Day and Coins for a Cause.
