Donate sneakers for good cause

It's not too late to boot some of the extra shoes out of your closet in pursuit of a cause other than a neater shoe rack. Athletic shoes are being collected from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in front of Honolulu Hale for recycling into play and sports surfaces. Please, no cleats. 

The city's 83rd annual Lei Day celebration will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Kapiolani Park Bandstand.

An investiture ceremony for Lei Queen Jamie Kaohulani Detwiler and her court will take place at 10:15 a.m. The lei contest exhibit will be open from 12:30-5:30 p.m., in the open area between the bandstand and the shell.

Activities include storytelling, hula, singing, lei making and lau hala weaving from 1-5 p.m. Also providing entertainment will be Kapena and Maunalua, among others.
