Sonny D poses with two ukuleles that he hand crafted and gave away on Sunday, December 2, 2012 at the BLEIZN FX Classic Car & Hot Rod Show held at the Pearl City Shopping Center.
The Sonny D free ukulele giveaway was coordinated by Lei Naumu and Bernard Cabral, co-owners of BLEIZN FX Productions. Entries for the contest were collected at the Ben Franklin Store located at the Pearl City Shopping Center and online at MyPearlCity.com. Winners were drawn by Sonny D on Sunday during the car show.
Sonny D is appreciative and grateful for the opportunity to share his ukuleles with the community. His talent as a top ukulele craftsman in Hawaii has delivered the gift of music while cultivating the Hawaiian culture for generations to come.
"Every year I give ukuleles away," said Sonny D. "Anybody that doesn't have money or really loves a Sonny D ukulele, I'll give it away, if I can. I make my own ukuleles, so next year I'm going to do the same thing again."
Mahalo to Sonny D for his big heart and passion for giving, especially during this holiday season.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
