Pier 11 at Aloha Tower proved to be the perfect port for
the 2019 Soirée By The Sea, the signature gala benefit
for Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children.
THE CRUISE LINE-THEMED EVENING featured sea creatures,
couture-clad dancers greeting guests at the door, shuffleboard
and elegant vintage décor. Dr. Alson Inaba, a Kapi‘olani pediatric
emergency physician, set the tone for the boatload of fun with a
CPR-inspired dance performance of lifesaving chest compression
moves that even included a star backup dancer — Kapi‘olani CEO
Martha Smith!

Proceeds from the event will support the future of heart care at
Kapi‘olani through a new Pediatric Heart Center. Heart defects are
the most common birth defect in the nation and
Kapi‘olani wants to treat these babies at home.
Kapi‘olani Health Foundation board members
Dr. Angela Pratt and Shelley Cramer served as
the Soirée co-chairs, working with a team of
community volunteers.
Generous contributions made the Soirée a
success, including the commitments of title
sponsor Saks Fifth Avenue, media sponsor
Honolulu Star-Advertiser and 50 other individual,
company and organization sponsors.
