Miss Hawaii’s February 2019 Recap!

This post was submitted by Penelope Ng Pack, Miss Hawaii 2018 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org/guest-post. 

Aloha!

I hope your month of February was as filled with aloha, “love” in Hawaiian, as mine was.

Because I LOVE my job. From traveling to Seattle with Ben Bridge Jewelers to celebrate the Lunar New Year, to having Breakfast with the Bishop, promoting #DollarsforDonuts with Purvé Donut Stop & Ronald McDonald House Charities, going on TV to recruit golfers for our upcoming Miss Hawaii Golf Tournament on 3/22, and celebrating Dr. Seuss Day and all things literacy — I truly have the best job in the entire world.

This was also a Children’s Miracle Network (CMN)-filled month!

I’m *flipping* out after spending my morning with pancakes and a puppy ??? (sorry, Winnie – wish we could share). @kapiolanimedctr executives became executive chefs flipping pancakes for a purpose: Children’s Miracle Network! Join us at your local IHOP on March 12 for free pancakes to support #CMN on #NationalPancakeDay. | #forthekids #childrensmiraclenetwork #winniemajor #pancakeday #IHOP #pancakeswithapurpose #miraclemakers #misshawaii2018 #misshawaii

Pancake Day at Kapiolani Medical Center

Winnie and I “shared” some pancakes at Kapiolani Medical Center’s (KMC) Pancake Day — a preview of IHOP National Pancake Day on March 12! KMC executives became executive chefs for the morning: flipping pancakes for staff and patients for donations to CMN. All donations benefit Hawaii’s only CMN: KMC!

Join the Miss America organization nationwide on Tuesday, 3/12 at any IHOP restaurant, make a donation to CMN, and enjoy a free short stack of delicious pancakes!

The Miss Hawaii 2019 Candidates have also been hard at work fundraising for CMN in their local communities.

Am I dreaming? Still can’t believe I got to fly into Seattle for the day to celebrate Chinese New Year at the Hong Kong Business Association of Washington’s 12th annual gala! A big mahalo to the Ben Bridge teams from Ala Moana to Bellevue for inviting me to join them in supporting the arts at the future @tateuchicenter at PACE ?? | What an honor to model this incredible diamond encrusted jade Buddha pendant from the private collection of Mr. Benjamin Lee.
