| What is the Paradise Ride Kauai About?
Paradise Ride Kauai is the major annual fundraising event for Malama Pono Health Services. The annual August Paradise Ride Kauai has become established as the main summertime event on Kauai. Thanks to the awesome enthusiasm and generous support of our cyclists, sponsors, volunteers and island community, PRK has become successful raising much-needed funds for items and programs which are not otherwise funded by the State or Federal programs and grants.
In 2009, we expanded our services by providing the Rapid HIV testing whereby clients know their results in just 20 minutes. We are now testing for Hepatitis B & C and will soon start to test for some STDs. Without the financial ‘extra assist’ from Paradise Ride Kauai, many of our programs would go wanting for lack of the necessary support funds. Your participation in the ride helps Malama Pono Health Services continue its mission to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, infectious Hepatitis, and STD’s with important education, community assistance, outreach, client support . |
