KTA<\/abbr> shoppers have an entire month to help University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> Athletics by making their regular purchases, thanks to the 2020 KTA<\/abbr> Score for Scholarships program. From February 12 through March 10, when shoppers buy products from participating brands at KTA<\/abbr> Super Stores, their purchases help support 东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo’s student-athletes.<\/p>\n

“The continued support that the 东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo Athletics department receives from KTA<\/abbr> Super Stores and the generous vendors each year makes a tremendous difference in the lives of our student-athletes,” said Vulcan Athletic Director Patrick Guillen<\/strong>. “Receiving this assistance helps with tuition, books, meals and housing, which allows our student-athletes to focus on their academic and athletic goals.”<\/p>\n

KTA<\/abbr> donates $50 for every 3-point basket the Vulcans score during the basketball season; each goal in soccer is awarded $100; and volleyball scores $50 for every service ace. During baseball and softball games, the Vulcans receive $25 for strikeouts, $50 for doubles, $75 for triples, $100 for home runs and $500 for grand slams. When Vulcans score, scholarships grow.<\/p>\n

All funds raised through the program are deposited into the KTA<\/abbr> 东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo Score for Scholarships Endowment Fund. The program, started in 2003, has provided more than $250,000 in donations towards scholarships for student-athletes.<\/p>\n

“We always love this time of year when we are able to engage both our community members and our brand partners in a way that truly makes a difference in the lives of 东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo student-athletes, just as they enrich our community by providing great teams for us to cheer for,” said Toby Taniguchi, president of KTA<\/abbr> Super Stores.<\/p>\n

KTA<\/abbr> Super Stores is able to offer this annual support through the sponsorships from the following brands: Diamond Bakery, Hawaiian Sun, Love’s Bakery, Wild Harvest, Banana Boat, Nabisco, Pepsi, P&G, Conagra, Gatorade, Kellogg’s, KraftHeinz and Hershey’s.<\/p>\n
