Many of my elderly friends who are low-income seniors do not have the funds to attend and enjoy local sports, especially the desirable volleyball and football contests.

A worthwhile program, to fill the vacant seats would be to have the Hawaii teams provide free tickets and transportation for elders to attend these events — a win-win for all concerned.

Surely, the elderly, age 60 and above, and their spouses are entitled as senior citizens to these mutually beneficially services to restore a sense of balance to their lives.

Let’s make it happen: something positive for a change, since the elderly have an inherent right to the dignity of self-respect and the integrity to be free from the expense and exploitation of the cost of tickets.
