Radio and television personality Mele Apana is gearing up for her 14th annual Mother’s Day show, featuring a host of local entertainers.

The show first started back in May of 2006 and has been going strong since.

In the years since, Apana has donated many of the proceeds from her Mother’s Day show to children who are sick, some of them with cancer.

In the latest episode of Island Beat, Billy V chats with Apana about why she continues to put on her Mother’s Day show every year as well as what else she’s been up to, including recording new music.
