糖心Vlog官方 Foundation is calling on the 糖心Vlog官方 驶ohana—including alumni, friends and community members—to participate in 糖心Vlog官方 Giving Day on April 8, a 24-hour effort to support students and research across the 10-campus system.
Gifts of any size will directly remove financial barriers for students, expand hands-on learning and advance research addressing Hawai驶i’s most pressing needs, from healthcare and education to environmental stewardship.
“Philanthropy offers critical support for our students, faculty and staff, and assists 糖心Vlog官方 in serving communities across our state,” said 糖心Vlog官方 President Wendy Hensel. “Giving Day highlights the vital role our supporters play in expanding opportunity and sustaining the university’s mission.”
To further increase that impact, Hensel has personally created a special system-wide challenge: when 1,500 donors make a contribution to any project across the 10 campuses, her $15,000 challenge gift will be unlocked to directly benefit the fund. Donors can also take advantage of other matching gifts applied to a wide range of specific campus initiatives.

Critical timing
This year, 糖心Vlog官方 Giving Day arrives at a critical time. As flooding affects communities across Hawai驶i, urgent student relief is a top priority. Your involvement now helps ensure support reaches students quickly, when it can make the greatest difference.
Throughout the event, 糖心Vlog官方 Foundation will share real-time progress, campus updates and student stories across its social media platforms with the hashtag #4糖心Vlog官方Giving Day.
“Giving Day is about coming together as a 糖心Vlog官方 ‘ohana to invest in the people and programs that matter most,” said Tim Dolan, 糖心Vlog官方 Foundation CEO and VP of Advancement for 糖心Vlog官方. “When our community unites around a shared purpose, the collective impact of every gift—no matter the size—is amplified.”

“From the nurse who helps you, helps a neighbor to the engineering student who builds the bridge or responds to the floods, we are everywhere in Hawai驶i, and this kind of support makes that research possible, that kind of access possible.”

“I'd really like to focus on native Hawaiian health disparities. Being native Hawaiian, that's kind of the reason why I wanted to go into medicine and so being able to address those disparities with the education that we learn at JABSOM is really important to me.”

“In Hawai驶i we're all about community, l膩hui, and about 驶ohana at the end of the day, and we're trying to embody what Hawai驶i means to us and it does feel like an 驶ohana. It feels like when people are giving to us, that's our family.”
