Denarau's Hard Rock Cafe Turns Three

Celebrating its third anniversary last month and in true keeping with its philanthropic ideals, the Hard Rock Café in Port Denarau performed three very worthy deeds to mark the occasion.

On 01 December Hard Rock Café staff hosted children from Nadi Special School to a special lunch treat, the kids enjoying a fun filled day taking part in various activities and entertainment.

On 09 December, it was the turn of senior citizens from The Golden Age Home who were given the opportunity to rock it on with the staff, several of them even joining staff in the Café’s signature dance theme – YMCA.

Act three was carried off across the entire month when staff and clients alike all contributed funds and basic necessities all of which were presented to 50 deserving local families in the lead up to Christmas.
