Press Release Summary: Bobbi Jo Frazier donates vacation certificates to help PPFC
fundraising events.

Press Release Body: Bobbi Jo Frazier, Host of "The Travel Show with Bobbi Jo,"
recently donated vacation certificates to enhance the Polynesian-Pacifica Foundation
of Colorado's Polynesian Luau event. "When I made the offer to donate the vacations
to the PPFC, President Helen Simms was excited to hear about my offer, and then they
really started wondering how they might use the vacations for the Foundation's
benefit." said Bobbi Jo.

The certificates awarded allowed the grand prize winner a 7 night stay at a 4-5 star
luxury resort with a choice of 65 locations, including Hawaii. Another winner
received 3 day/2 night accommodations at one of 25 locations, such as Orlando, FL,
Branson, MO, Las Vegas, or San Diego.

The Polynesian-Pacifica Foundation of Colorado\'s mission is based on the fact that
the Polynesian cultures are comprised of a diverse group of people, and islands,
which have often been categorized under the umbrella of \"Asians, Pacific Islanders,
or Hawaiians\". This is understandable because Hawaii, the 50th state, has served as
a focal point and melting pot for all the people of Asia, the Pacific Islands and
Polynesia, who chose to be assimilated into the American way of life. The Polynesian
people are different in their cultures depending on their island of origin; i.e.,
Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, etc. In the United States, these
diverse cultures are usually misrepresented, or grouped as one of the umbrella
categories. The cultural variations can be seen in many of the arts, dances and
costumes.

When the public thinks about Hawaiian dances, they usually conjure up images of
hip-shaking dances garbed in grass skirts, dancing to rapid tribal beats on wooden
drums or of action-packed fire dancers eating fire and dancing to the backdrop of a
steep, lush valley surrounding a magnificent waterfall. Both images are Polynesian,
but not necessarily Hawaiian. The first scenario is Tahitian and the second is
Samoan. There are hundreds of different traditional Polynesian dances and cultural
demonstrations that could be provided by all of these divergent cultures to the
general public. The Polynesia-Pacifica Foundation of Colorado was formed as an
administrative/educational group to represent all of the different Polynesian
cultures. The foundation\'s members include many of the profit and non-profit
Polynesian organizations, cultural demonstrators, dance and musical groups, artists
and clubs located throughout Colorado.
Bobbi Jo stated, "When you're logged on to thetravelshowwithbobbijo.com. you'll
learn a new meaning for the word vacation.you'll discover how to travel in a way
that is affordable on almost any budget. This is a great way to offer incentives
for any organization. Some organizations that I have worked with like to offer an
entire vacation package as the final raffle prize and that is the fundraiser.
Either way, it's lots of fun for the families and the contributors."
