Community Involvement
Honolulu Professionals Foundation
Inspired by my Rotary club to give back, my friends and I founded the Honolulu Professionals Foundation. HPF is a fun group of growing professionals dedicated to building a lasting positive legacy in the community through strategic partnerships and giving. Over the years we've helped support:
- The Sunshine Kids
- Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA)
- Aloha Medical Mission, The Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii, Kupu,
- R.E.A.C.H.
- Surfrider Spirit Sessions
- Rotary Club of Metropolitan Honolulu
- Dyslexia Association Hawaii Branch
- Epilepsy Foundation Hawaii
- Hawaii Literacy
- Aloha Harvest
We are proud to share since our start in 2008 we've raised close to $200,000 for other local charities. Some our work caught the attention of Midweek who wrote an article in its June 13th, 2012 issue describing my involvement with HPF and also featuring our 2010 Kupu fundraiser.
Rotary International
I am a proud Rotarian and have been a member with The Rotary Club of Metropolitan Honolulu since 2008. The Metro Rotary Club works to spread the concept of "Service Above Self" through its numerous community service projects and scholarship programs. Currently I serve on the board as one of its Vice Presidents. Rotarians attempt to apply the Four Way Test in every part of their lives.
Of all the things we think, say and do:
- Is it the Truth?
- Is it Fair to all concerned?
- Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships?
- Will it be beneficial to All Concerned?
