RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES HAWAII UNVEILS NEW FAMILYRECREATION CENTER
— BUILT DESPITE PANDEMIC —
Honolulu, HI—Ronald McDonald House Charities Hawaii (RMHC Hawaii) has opened its new Family Recreation Center that was completed just in time to accept new families at its Judd Hillside House in January.
In its first capital renovation and expansion since 2006, RMHC Hawaii began construction early last year, combining its existing playroom and outdoor lanai spaces at the House. But,the charity lost funding to complete the project because of COVID–19 impacts, including stay at home orders, fundraising event cancellations, and economic effects on community and businesses. ...
Fortunately, Hawaii's community at large and those familiar with RMHC Hawaii’s mission of providing a home–away–from–home for families with ill children needing medical care on Oahu donated time, money, and in–kind services. Designer Cathy Lee put her own business on hold and inspired others to share her creative vision as she and her team designed the Center.
“The new Center combines cutting edge design with thoughtful and innovative family–centered spaces that foster an extraordinary sense of community between families staying at the Ronald McDonald House, ” said President of RMHC Hawaii Jerri Chong. “Most importantly, the Center fosters feelings of hope and healing. ”
The Family Recreation Center is a unique and magical space in which families not only stay close, but can leave their worries behind while they get absorbed in play or activities. It includes children’s play areas, family gathering spaces, an indoor tree house, gaming wall, and distance learning center—meeting diverse needs of immediate family members, like mom, dad, siblings, and grandparents.
“The Family Recreation Centeris so important to our mission of keeping families close, ” said Chong. “When children get sick, it's even more important that families are kept together. This is when they need each other most. ”

Local artworks from McDonald’s to be auctioned at charity gala
By Star-Advertiser Staff
Nov. 10, 2019
Your local McDonald's — home to burgers and fries, shakes and pies — also may have played host to a genuine work of art.
We're talking an original painting by Martin Charlot, or a photograph by Kim Taylor Reece.
Several distinctive Charlot works that hung in McDonald's restaurants now have an estimated market value of $1,000 and up. Their value was assessed recently because they will be among 10 original works to be auctioned off Nov. 23 at Sparkle and Shine, a fundraising gala to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities Hawaii.
The most valuable of the batch is Herb Kawainui Kane's “The Story of Laka,” worth $35,000 to $40,000. The piece was commissioned for the McDonald’s local corporate office, where it was displayed for many years. Eventually it was put on public display at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, but has been in storage since the center was renovated in the mid–2000s (it reopened as the Royal Hawaiian Center).
The charity said in a statement that the other art pieces were commissioned in the late 1980s to be displayed in several McDonald's restaurants as commemorations of Hawaiian history and culture. They were removed and put into storage as the restaurants were renovated. An international art appraiser, Wayne Morioka, appraised the paintings in preparation for the auction. ...
Loop snaring. Eels baited stick.”
The “Laka” piece is undergoing restoration by Larry Pace of Pace Art Conservation, who authenticated the painting and is restoring it to its original state, including its original koa frame.
Kane, who died in 2011, was a co–founder of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and designer of the Hokule‘a voyaging canoe. He was an artist and historian known for paintings and murals that celebrated many aspects of Hawaiian culture, from legends and folklore to ships and oceangoing canoes.
Charlot, son of the renowned muralist Jean Charlot, grew up in Hawaii. Although known primarily as a muralist, he also completed many works in media from oils to porcelain.
The Sparkle and Shine auction also will include pieces by Reece, Sue Swerdlow, Frances Hill and other local artists, in the largest fundraising event held annually for Ronald McDonald House.
The event includes dinner, entertainment, a country store, and live and silent auctions featuring travel and dining experiences, fine jewelry, specialty wines and liquor, music and sports memorabilia and more.
This year’s gala will also feature an appearance by Denise Yamaguchi, who will sign her children’s cookbook, “Keiki in the Kitchen with Mika the Sous Chef,” filled with recipes by noted Hawaii chefs. Yamaguchi will be accompanied by her Lhasa apso puppy, Mika, and all book sales at the event will go to the Ronald McDonald charity.
Pre-event bidding for silent auction items begins Nov. 20 online at rmhc.cbo.io. All proceeds will benefit Ronald McDonald House.
Ronald McDonald House is a nonprofit that provides housing for families of seriously ill children who must travel to Oahu for medical treatment.
