Tiki Kon to support Alzheimer's Association with The Longest Luau, June 21

PORTLAND, OR (April 21, 2014) — Tiki Kon, the Pacific Northwest's Polynesian-Pop extravaganza, is supporting Alzheimer's Association this year by participating in The Longest Day, with an all-day fundraising event called The Longest Luau, on June 21, 2014.

From the Alzheimer Association website:

"On The Longest Day, teams around the world come together to honor the strength, passion and endurance of those facing Alzheimer's with a day of activity. Held on the summer solstice, June 21, 2014, this event calls on participants to raise funds and awareness to advance the efforts of the Alzheimer's Association."

As part of this all-day, nation-wide event, Tiki Kon is hosting a series of luau-themed activities at locations around Portland for its registered team members. To enjoy these members-only activities, members of the Portland Tiki community are encouraged to sign up using the Team Tiki Kon page on the Alzheimer's website.

To reward the efforts of the fundraising team, the member who receives the most pledges will be awarded a grand trophy--a commemorative, super limited-edition 2014 Tiki Kon mug by VanTiki and Munktiki.

Additional public events are planned at two of Portland's top tiki bars, including "extra-happy" hour at Hale Pele and a finale party at Trader Vic's Portland. Everyone is welcome to attend, and members of other Longest Day teams are invited to join Team Tiki Kon for our end-of-day sunset celebration at Trader Vic's. A portion of bar sales will be contributed to the team, which means that guests can support the cause by simply raising a glass with us. Supporters may also make a tax-deductible online donation to the team.

Tiki Kon prides itself on its community involvement and has committed to supporting a worthy charity each year with special fundraisers and donations. Last year's event benefited the Autism Society of Oregon, in honor of the many members of the Tiki Kon family whose lives are affected by autism. Alzheimer's has as similar impact on all communities, and nearly everyone involved with the event has been touched in some way by it.
