In this episode of Elevate 808, we’re highlighting two organizations making a big impact — one step, one swing at a time.

First, we visit Guide Dogs of Hawaiʻi, an organization that began by helping people navigate strict quarantine laws to access guide dogs. Today, they go far beyond the dogs — offering mobility training, social opportunities, and a youth camp for Hawaiʻi’s blind and visually impaired community 🐕‍🦺

Then we head over to HAWAIIANHARDBALL, a lifestyle brand and training center built on the pride and culture of Hawaiʻi baseball. It’s about more than just the game — it’s about community, identity, and repping where you’re from with heart 💪⚾️🌺

📺 Originally aired on KHON2 on Aug 3, 2025.

Elevate 808 is a spin-off of Here in Hawaii where we get to know the local small businesses and nonprofits that are making a difference in our communities.
