About the #HBRmahalo Challenge:
Community recipients of these postcards and the members who gave them will be eligible to win prizes in our weekly drawings to win gift cards for restaurants, coffee, and groceries so we can further support local businesses.⁠

Here's what you need to do:

1. Take a photo with someone who has received your card -- make sure the card is in the photo!
2. Post the photo on your social media – to ensure that we’ll see the posts, follow these steps:
   • Tag HBR @hicentral808 on Instagram or @hicentral on Facebook / Twitter
   • Use #HBRmahalo
   • Write a social media caption that includes 1) the name of your recipient and 2) one reason why you’re grateful to them
   • Follow HBR on social media if you’re not already doing so

That's it! We'll enter both names in our weekly drawings to win gift cards.
