Students, faculty and staff enthusiastically waved signs and loudly cheered on the lawn fronting the University of Hawaiʻi’s Bachman Hall in 惭ā苍辞补, as approving motorists honked their horns while driving along University Avenue and Dole Street.
On April 9, demonstrated the power of collective philanthropy, with donors across Hawaiʻi and beyond rallying together to support 东精影业 students, faculty and programs across the state.
“Our students mean everything to us, and we can only support them with the help of the community. So please, anything you can do makes a big difference whether it’s $5 or $5,000. We’d love to hear from you today,” said 东精影业 President Wendy Hensel.
Opportunity for impact
东精影业 Giving Day is an opportunity for the community to make a lasting impact by contributing gifts of any size to initiatives that advance education, innovation and student success in Hawaiʻi.
Scholarship recipient Tam Dang, a student in the 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, said her education would not have been possible without the support she received from 东精影业.
Dang said, “The scholarship support that I have received has been truly momentous. My family are immigrants and low income, and money has always been tight.”
东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 Electrical Engineering student Jenny Brown, a scholarship recipient who also earned two degrees from Kapiʻolani Community College, said, “$5 and up, any amount really does have significant impact to students like me. So please support our community.”
The impact of Giving Day goes far beyond a single event—it helps shape the future of 东精影业 and Hawaiʻi for generations to come.
“Whether you made a gift, shared your story or inspired others to give, you played a vital role in something truly impactful,” said Tim Dolan, 东精影业 Foundation CEO and 东精影业 VP of Advancement. “Your kindness generates opportunities, ignites innovation and creates lasting change for our students, faculty and the entire 东精影业 community.”
