Women's Fund receives $100,000 grant

The Women's Fund of Hawaii received a $100,000 matching grant from the Catalyst Fund at Tides Foundation, one of eight foundations in the nation to receive the award. The foundation grants support reproductive justice work led by women of color.

The Waipahu Community Foundation will award grants to Waipahu High School ($5,000), Waipahu Community Association for Waipahu Elementary School ($3,780), Na Pa'ani Softball ($2,359) and Boy Scouts of America Troop 32 ($656).

Joanna L. Sullivan and her late husband, Maurice J. Sullivan, were recently honored by the Friends of the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii for significant contributions to cancer research, treatment and education in Hawaii.

The Sullivans were recognized at the Friends' annual fundraising event, which raised more than $150,000 for the Cancer Research Center.

The funds will be used to further research in cancer prevention and treatment.

ALTRES Staffing donated and installed eight audio systems worth $12,000 at Nanaikapono Elementary in Nanakuli. The systems will allow for an even distribution of the teacher's voice throughout four classrooms.
