Singer Jimmy Buffett is donating 25-thousand dollars to the Hawaii Chapter of the American Red Cross Thursday. Buffett has long been a fan of Hawaii and dreamed for decades of performing a benefit concert in Diamond Head Crater. He decided instead to help out the Red Cross with a donation.

Buffett performed at the Aloha Stadium in 1979 and most recently appeared at the Waikiki Shell in April. He called the donation a small payback for all of the aloha spirit he has received in the Aloha State.
