Celebrity hosts are Chuck and Doni Antone of the Kona Coast Chaplaincy and David Rees-Thomas, founding pastor of Calvary Community Church.

The Pregnancy Center will receive 100% of the special guest servers’ tips and 20% of food and beverage sales to help support its mission of helping men and women explore their options and empower them to make informed sexual and reproductive choices.

Project Compassion is a partnership of the Rotary Club of Kona, Denny’s Restaurant and local 501(c)3 non-profits in Hawaii. These monthly events have raised thousands of dollars since the beginning of 2009 to help the non-profits support their programs. All proceeds from the event go to the participating non-profits.
