HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii's Little League World Series team has gotten some big league donations to help pay for its travels.

Two funds collecting money for the Waipio team have garnered a total of more than $93,000.

Team manager Brian Yoshii told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Thursday that "It's unbelievable."

The team spent 26 days competing on the mainland as it claimed the U.S. championship before losing the title game to Japan last month.

A fund set up by First Hawaiian Bank has collected more than $65,000. The money is to be presented to the team at the Sept. 25 Charleston Southern-Hawaii football game.

More than $28,000 collected in a fund set up by Gov. Linda Lingle is to be presented Saturday.

Obama's appeal gets a test on his home turf in Hawaii
Will White House and union ties help or hinder a Democratic Senate candidate against a Republican incumbent?

Reporting from Honolulu — In the 51 years since Hawaii gained statehood, Democrats have ridden the wave of union endorsements into Congress.

Here in the state's 1st District, where "Barry" Obama grew up and enterprising tourism purveyors take visitors to the president's old haunts, the backing of organized labor and the area's ties to the man in the White House are regarded by Democratic Party stalwarts as pluses that should propel challenger Colleen Hanabusa to victory in November.

His old HAUNTS? I'm still wondering if Hussein was born in the country.
