Finance Factors’ 13th Annual Benefit Breakfast was a huge success last Friday, as the company raised $7,300 for this year’s selected charity, the River of Life Mission.
 
Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Finance Factors Center on Bishop Street to make their $5 donation for the Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice breakfast platters. Select groups of VIPs were treated to a seated breakfast of Kukui Brand Portuguese sausage, omelets and fresh fruits. Other breakfasts were delivered throughout the downtown area.

More than 70 executives and employees from the Finance Factors Family of Companies helped to set up and prepare for the Benefit Breakfast, with more than 1,200 breakfast plates sold. 

“Finance Factors is excited to report another successful Benefit Breakfast event this year, and we were pleased to have had the opportunity to support such a worthy cause as the River of Life Mission,” said Steven Teruya, president of Finance Factors. “Giving back to the community is one of the company’s top priorities, and every year we are rewarded with the opportunity to help a local non-profit organization.”

“We’d like to thank the many people and companies who helped make this year’s breakfast a success, including Akyth, Inc., Kukui Sausage Co., Rocky Road Products, Meadow Gold Dairies, executive sous chefs Michael Arita and Erwin Manzano of the Pacific Beach Hotel, the employees of the Finance Factors Family of Companies, and the many generous vendors, friends and colleagues in our downtown community,” Teruya added.

Each year, Finance Factors invests time and other resources to help raise funds for a wide range of non-profit organizations that are working to improve the quality of life for the people of Hawaii.

The River of Life Mission is a local organization that is committed to helping the destitute and needy in our communities.  The Christian-based organization strives to assist those in need of temporary emergency assistance with their rescue services, which include meals, shelter, clothing and social services.  For individuals that are poverty stricken, they also have designed rehabilitation and reintegration programs, which include job training, counseling, employment and life-skills training.
