In 2005 the Rock-A- Hula girls helped raise close to $3500,00 that went to the Alzheimers Association of America.

By hosting a benefit dinner at Marlowes, and having a seperate pettition drive, we made the Elvis world proud by being the highest doners of that year !

 It  was  our  first  year  involved  in  the  charity  efforts !!!!!

Elvis on Genorosity..."It's like throwing a stone in a pond...it just ripples out. "

While some of Elvis' larger charitable endeavors are widely known, little is known about the extent to which Elvis gave quietly, without public recognition. Throughout his life, Elvis quietly paid hospital bills, bought homes and cars, and paid off debts for family, friends, and total strangers. Elvis never forgot what it was like to do without and enjoyed making people's lives a little bit easier.

Paralleling Elvis' life, little is also known of the tremendous amount in which Elvis Presley Fan Clubs raise for charity. To help celebrate and continue Elvis' tradition, fan club members contribute their time, talents, energy, and weekends to put together fund-raisers to collect donations for the charity of their choice. Whether it is donating cash to the Elvis Presley Trauma Center, supporting needy families, donating teddy bears to sick children, or donating peanut butter to food banks, these are all done in the memory of Elvis Presley.

Over the last 10 years, Elvis Presley Fan Clubs have raised over $3.1 million for charity.
