EDDIE VEDDER JOINS JACK JOHNSON AT THE FOURTH ANNUAL KOKUA FESTIVAL February 02, 2007 APRIL 21st- 22nd 2007 WAIKIKI SHELL, OAHU Hawaii’s own, Grammy-nominated musician Jack Johnson is proud to host the Fourth Annual Kokua Festival on Earth Day weekend- April 21st and 22nd, 2007 at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii. The festival’s incredible music line-up includes Jack Johnson, Eddie Vedder and Boom Gaspar of Pearl Jam, young troubadour Matt Costa, and local Island favorites: Ernie Cruz Jr., and the Girlas. All proceeds go to the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Jack and Kim Johnson to support environmental education programs in Hawaii. The funds raised from the Kokua Festival will be used to further support school recycling on Oahu, sponsor field trips and curriculum, and develop the new farm-to-school program ‘AINA in Schools. In addition to the eclectic mix of live music, the Kokua Festival’s Kokua Village lets fans experience eco-friendly clothing from Patagonia, sustainable shoes from Simple Shoes, and organic yogurt from Stonyfield Farm. Many other local food and beverages, products and services from green companies, alternative energy demonstrations, interactive games and crafts for the kids, and information from environmentally active groups from around the islands will also be featured. The Kokua Festival aspires to reduce its environmental impact by offsetting the festival’s emissions, running generators and festival vehicles on bio-diesel, recycling, using biodegradable concession ware, and offering eco-friendly merchandise including reusable totes, bottles, and organic cotton clothing. Fans are encouraged to make an “Earth Day Resolution” to reduce their environmental impact leading up to the festival and throughout the year. As the first MySpace LIVE event of 2007, the MySpace LIVE at The Kokua Festival will broadcast the concert for viewers as well as feature behind-the-scenes MySpace Video footage and interviews with Jack and Friends.

Looking for Saturday night fun that makes a difference? Join us for an exciting adventure game that will help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on their quest to fight blood cancers. Race for the cure as you race through Waikiki armed with your wits and a blacklight to find invisible clues and crack encrypted ciphers. For the game, each team will receive a handmade treasure map, set of parchment clues, and a bag of gadgets and tools you may need along the way. Because it's a fundraiser, we'll even let you buy some hints ($10 each). The hints help raise more money for the fight--and help you win bragging rights and fabulously tacky prizes as you capture first place! The game ends when you solve the answer to the secret end location and celebrate with drinks and tales of the game. Come join us for fun and adventure as we illuminate the fight against cancer.
