The University of Â鶹´«Ã½\u2019s<\/span> 2025 Oʻahu<\/span> Aloha United Way<\/a> (AUW<\/abbr>) campaign launched on September 8 and ran through October 10, bringing the UH<\/abbr> ʻohana<\/span> together once again in a long-standing tradition of giving. This year, faculty and staff from UH<\/abbr>‘s Oʻahu<\/span> campuses contributed almost $90,000 toward strengthening programs that support Â鶹´«Ã½\u2019s<\/span> most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

AUW<\/abbr>, which has supported Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> communities for more than 100 years, provides critical funding to local nonprofits offering services in education, poverty prevention and essential safety-net programs. One of AUW<\/abbr>\u2019s most relied-upon resources is the AUW<\/abbr> 211 Helpline, the state\u2019s only comprehensive information and referral service connecting residents with food assistance, housing support, childcare options and other urgent needs.<\/p>\n

“We are deeply grateful to every member of the UH<\/abbr> ʻohana<\/span> who has contributed. We\u2019re helping shape a healthier, stronger future for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>,” said UH<\/abbr> President Wendy Hensel. “Every contribution, no matter the size, has the power to change lives.”<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr>\u2019s contributions help sustain a wide range of community programs, from preparing keiki for school success to providing meals to food-insecure families. Each donation ensures that individuals and families across the islands can access the resources they need to recover, grow and thrive.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for your incredible generosity\u2014especially now, when so many in our community are in need. Your compassion truly reflects what makes the UH<\/abbr> ʻohana<\/span> so special,” said Michelle Bartell, AUW<\/abbr> president and CEO<\/abbr> “On behalf of our partner agencies and the entire Aloha United Way team, mahalo nui for your support.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
