According to the U.S. Fire Administration, upwards of 400,000 residential building fires are reported annually, tallying over $7 billion in losses. When fire claims the home of one of our own—as it recently did for beloved radio personality Shaggy Jenkins’s ‘ohana—we’re reminded that this staggering, sad statistic is about homes. “A place of residence and refuge,” by dictionary definition, “home” literally and figuratively houses our affections and safeguards all we hold dear. To lose it is an unfathomable pain—and a torment that dear ol’ Shaggy (pictured) and his family are currently enduring. “My sister has four daughters and they lost everything,” says Jenkins. “They’re spending the holidays throwing out all the charred, smoked and otherwise damaged stuff that used to be a home to them.” Fighting fire with fire, Maui’s prog rock elite are uniting under the Hard Rock’s roof to raise money to rebuild Shaggy’s hometown hale in North Carolina. For the paltry price of a plate lunch and latte, you can help the cause and enjoy the megawatt lineup of Moth, Owaila, Kanekoa and Vince Esquire, presented by Q103, KAOI FM and Visionary Entertainment.
