In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Iselle, local clothing designers are again stepping up to provide assistance to disaster victims. Kyle Shimabukuro, of HiLife Clothing Company, has designed the artwork to be used for the Aloha For Hawaii Island relief effort. Shimabukuro also designed the iconic logos for the recent Aloha For Japan and Aloha For Philippines relief campaigns. Barefoot League and Scorpink printed the shirts.

Hawaii Island United Way volunteers will sell the popular shirts this evening from 4-8 p.m., at booths placed in front of KTA Superstores across the island, except the Keawe location. Each Aloha For Hawaii Island shirt will be sold for $20, with $10 from each sale being donated to the Hawaii Island United Way.
“We are very thankful to KTA and organizations like HiLife and Barefoot League for lending their skills and talents,” said Jeanine Atebara, Hawaii Island United Way president. “This is a collaborative effort, and our number one priority is to make sure the donations reach the people who really need the help and who have been impacted the hardest.”
The Aloha For Hawaii Island shirts can also be purchased online here. Barefoot League has already donated $1,820 to the Hawaii Island United Way for the 182 shirts they sold during the Made In Hawaii festival this past weekend.
