This past Friday, May 31, was the 50th Anniversary Gala of the University of Hawai‘i Foundation’s William S. Richardson School of Law. Our platinum sponsorship of this event was given in the name of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation (NHLC) to honor and recognize the NHLC's years of dedicated efforts to providing attorneys to address Native Hawaiian claims and issues and, more importantly, to provide a solid core of attorneys for Native Hawaiians.   The William S. Richardson School of Law is a collaborative, multicultural community preparing students for excellence in the practice of law and related careers that advance justice and the rule of law. They develop highly qualified, ethical professionals through excellence in teaching, scholarship, and public service. They embrace Hawai‘i’s diversity and values and recognize a special responsibility to our state and the Pacific region. Among the distinguished law school alumni are HNC Board Chair Allen K. Hoe (class of 1976), and Beadie Kanahele Dawson (class of 1981).   “I am grateful for C.J. Richardson’s vision and untiring efforts to fulfill a dream, which has provided generations of Hawaiʻi’s people with the opportunity to create a better future.” - Allen K. Hoe Learn more about the history of the law school and its anniversary celebration: https://lnkd.in/gC88vMdK University of Hawai'i at Manoa - William S.

We’re excited to be a sponsor for the latest exhibition at the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum titled “Ka ‘Ula Wena: Oceanic Red,” and we were honored to attend the opening night festivities. The Bishop Museum describes this original exhibit as one that “celebrates the distinctly unique reds of Oceania and the redness of our connection.” This isn’t your typical showcase, as it’s an extraordinary and unprecedented celebration of oceanic arts, people, and culture, that delves deep into the rich tapestry of generational history. This exhibit is currently open to the public and runs through January 12, 2025.

The National Memorial Day Concert is an American tradition that honors our country’s veterans, fallen service members, and military families. One of this year's featured stories honors 1st Lt. Nainoa K. Hoe, son of U.S. Army Veteran and Hawaiian Native Corporation Board Chair Allen K. Hoe. In 2005, Army 1st Lt. Hoe died in a sniper attack in Iraq at the age of 27. 1st Lt. Hoe served with the 3d Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Washington. “Each year on Memorial Day, I pause to remember the young men and women whose lives were cut short by saying their names and sharing their stories.” – Allen Hoe Hear Allen talk about his heroic son, how loss has inspired him, and his commitment to healing the wounds of war: https://lnkd.in/gpBUNebh   #MemorialDay #America #Veterans #GoldStarFamily #Army #Hawaii

Today we honor and remember the brave individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and dedication to protecting our freedom will never be forgotten.

Mahalo to all our fallen heroes who provided us with the freedoms we all enjoy. #MemorialDay #MemorialDayWeekend #USA #America #Veterans #Military #HonorOurVets #ThankAVet
