Every year, Dave Matthews and the rest of the Habilitat Hawaiʻi crew come out and help with all the behind-the-scenes work for Shinnyo L antern Floating Hawaiʻi. All week leading up to the ceremony, they are on the ground, helping to build out the site that will support everyone working toward the ceremony together. We love having them as part of the Shinnyo Lantern Floating ʻohana. The event would not happen each year without them.

We were so grateful to KHON for the chance to hear Dave share his experience in this story on their website. Check it out!
