The presenting sponsor for the 2019 Radiothon for Kids was D. Suehiro Electric, Inc. This year marked the company’s third year participating. D. Suehiro Electric employees set a shift record by raising $37,310 for Kapi‘olani during their hour-and-a-half volunteer time on the phone bank. In addition, the company donated two fully stocked room decorating and comfort carts that will help celebrate the milestones and miracle moments patients experience. The Radiothon is a trademark event that brings the community together. Kapi‘olani was honored to have returning sponsors, such as D. Suehiro Electric, HMSA, AlohaCare, and welcome new community partners like Zippy’s Restaurants.
