Jared and Donna Murayama have pledged $100,000 to support the Wahine sand volleyball team<\/a> and facilities at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa’s Athletics Department. In recognition of the Murayama’s generosity, the Wahine sand volleyball head coach’s office has been named “Murayama ʻOhana<\/span>! Cara, Jaimie, Donna and Jared. Aloha and Go Bows!”<\/p>\n

“Private support like this generous investment from the Murayamas spurs growth in quality, compliance and competitive success,” said Athletics Director Ben Jay<\/strong>. “We are most grateful to the Murayamas and our other generous donors for investing in our student-athletes’ success and the athletic programs that enrich our community.”<\/p>\n

Added Scott Wong<\/strong>, Wahine sand volleyball head coach, “The generous financial support that we have received from the Murayamas, and the rest of the community in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, has helped provide our student-athletes an enhanced experience while at UH<\/abbr>, and ultimately the best chance to compete for a national championship. A big mahalo to the Murayama ʻohana<\/span> for investing in the overall success of our student-athletes!”<\/p>\n

“We hope that all University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> sports fans get behind the sand volleyball program,” said Jared Murayama. “They have a real shot at becoming national champions and private support will help them get there!”<\/p>\n
