Roi Roundup fundraisers on Maui
The Roi Round-up committee appreciates all the support that it has received since its inception in 2008. The movement is making its way across the state, inspiring our neighboring islands to get involved in marine conservation and community outreach. To date, roi tournaments have been held on Maui, O'ahu, Moloka'i and Hawai'i Island. Kaua'i will hold its first event this coming weekend. An educational DVD, slated for statewide release, is in the works.

The business sector has been very supportive of the Roi Round-up and has provided two new ways to support the cause...

This Friday, July 30th, the Maui Brewing Company in Kahana will be dedicating 50% of their house beer and pizza special sales to Roi Round-up. The Benefit Night event will take place between 5 p.m. to midnight.

We are also excited to announce that Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Lahaina will be sponsoring a bookfair next month to benefit Roi Round-up. Between August 13-15, from 9 am to 9 pm, a percentage of the proceeds from all store sales, including the coffee shop, will be dedicated to the Roi Round-up and its statewide efforts.

During those three days at Barnes & Noble, simply say, "I'm here to support the bookfair" and Roi Round-up will make a percentage of that sale, the only exception being the purchase of gift cards.

In addition, a Barnes & Noble bookfair will be held at the Roi Round-up event on August 15th at the Hard Rock Cafe, between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please encourage people to come out for that, there'll be lots of action, including the fish weigh-in.

Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at these events!
