HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS- WHO EXC
WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808".
HONORS EXCEPTIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL SENIORS WHO EXCEL
IN DUKE SPORTS.
THERE IS AN IMPORTANT
DEADLINE COMING UP.
NICE TO HAVE YOU ON THE
THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
I'M SO EXCITED, I HAD
THE PLEASURE OF EMCEEING
LAST YEAR AND YOU ASKED
ME BACK.
TELL ME ABOUT THE
MISSION.
THE MISSION OF THE
OUTRIGGER DUKE
KAHANAMOKU FOUNDATION IS
TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT
INDIVIDUALS AND
ORGANIZATIONS WHO
PERPETUATE THE SPIRIT
AND LEGACY OF DUKE
KAHANAMOKU.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS
SINCE 1986 WHEN
OUTRIGGER CANOE
FOUNDATION MERGED WITH
THE DUKE KAHANAMOKU
FOUNDATION AND WE'RE
HERE TO PERPETUATE WATER
SPORTS IN THE SPIRIT OF
THE AMBASSADOR OF ALOHA,
THE OLYMPIAN AND THE
FINALIST THAT YOU FIND
REALLY DO EMBODY
EVERYTHING THAT HE STOOD
FOR.
YEAH, DEFINITELY.
OUR WINNER LAST YEAR --
WE HAD SEVERAL
OUTSTANDING CANDIDATES
WE HIGHLIGHTED
EXTENSIVELY.
IT WAS A VERY HARD
CHOICE BUT HE WAS A KID
WHO LOVED THE OCEAN,
WENT BACK TO THE OCEAN
FOR HIS SOURCE, DREW
STRENGTH FROM IT AND
USED HIS LEADERSHIP
SKILLS TO SPREAD OCEAN
SAFETY AND THAT LOVE FOR
THE OCEAN.
CHOICE TO THE COMMITTEE
ONCE THEY INTERVIEWED
HIM.
TELL ME ABOUT THE
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AND
WHO CAN QUALIFY FOR
THIS?
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED
TO HAVE AS MANY KIDS
APPLY AS POSSIBLE.
THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE
OPEN TO HAWAI'I STUDENTS
SO ANY SENIOR THAT'S AT
ANY HAWAI'I SCHOOL OR
WHO ARE RETURNING TO
COLLEGE WHO ARE HAWAI'I
RESIDENTS, THEY CAN BE
AT SCHOOL IN THE
MAINLAND CAN APPLY FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS.
THERE'S A GENERAL
AMBASSADOR OF ALOHA
SCHOLARSHIP AND IT WILL
BE MULTIPLE OF THOSE
RANGING FROM $1,000 AND
UP, AND ANY KID THAT
PLAYS ONE OF LUCKY'S
SPORTS --
CAN YOU TELL EVERYONE
WHAT THIS IS.
HOPEFULLY I COVER
THEM ALL.
BUT SWIMMING, DIVING,
SAILING, SURFING, CANOE
PADDLING, VOLLEYBALL,
PARTY POLO.
THOSE ARE THE MAIN
SPORTS.
THE KIDS SHOULD PLAY
THIS SPORT, HAVE A 3.0
GPA OR HIGHER AND HAVE
SOME INVOLVEMENT IN
COMMUNITY SERVICE.
FOR THE DUKE AWARD, IT'S
A SIMILAR REQUIREMENT.
LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE
WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT
SPIRIT OF DUKE.
IT SHOULD BE A KID WHO
REALLY REMINDS YOU TO
LUCKY, IS USING THEIR
SPREAD ALOHA, INCLUDE
EVERYONE AND BRING
EVERYONE BACK TO THE
OCEAN AND LOVE AND
RESPECT FOR THE OCEAN.
IMPORTANT THAT WE
MENTION THE DEADLINE.
HEARING ABOUT IT, IT IS
COMING UP.
YES, NOVEMBER 24TH.
SO IT'S NOT A LOT OF
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE OF
THESE SCHOLARSHIPS, THEY
CAN APPLY ON OUR WEBSITE
AT DUKEFOUNDATION.ORG.
FOR THE LARGE DUKE AWARD
WHICH IS THE LARGEST
ONE-TIME SCHOLARSHIP IN
THE STATE WHEN THE
HAWAI'I, THEY NEED TO BE
NOMINATED BY A SCHOOL
OFFICIAL OR ATHLETIC
OFFICIAL.
SO HOPEFULLY THE WORD
IS DEFINITELY OUT THERE
FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT
QUALIFY FOR THAT.
HOW CAN ANYONE SUPPORT
THE DUKE FOUNDATION
BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING
GREAT THINGS IN OUR
COMMUNITY?
YOU CAN GIVE A
FOUNDATION BY GIVING TO
DUKEFOUNDATION.ORG.
I THINK IT'S A REALLY
GREAT CAUSE TO GIVE TO
BECAUSE WE TALK A LOT
ABOUT HOW DO WE GET OUR
STUDENTS TO COME BACK TO
HAWAI'I AFTER COLLEGE.
HOW DO WE KEEP OUR
TALENT AND BRIGHTEST
MINDS HERE.
WE NEED TO GIVE THEM
OPPORTUNITIES TO GO TO
WITH LOANS SO THEY CAN
AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.
THAT'S WHERE YOUR
DOLLARS ARE GOING
STRAIGHT TO THE FUTURE.
SOME GREAT VIDEO HERE
WITH ALL OF THE
FINALISTS AND SINGING
EIRIE LOVE WAS A
PERFORMING.
ANY GLIMPSE WHAT'S IN
STORE FOR THIS YEAR'S
PROGRAM?
WELL, IT'S PLANNED
FOR APRIL 17TH PROBABLY
AT THE DIAMOND HEAD
THEATER AS WELL.
IT'S GOING TO BE AN
EVENING PROGRAM AND WE
ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE
YOU, TAN YARKS COME BACK
AND EEE FOR US AGAIN.
A GREAT COMMUNITY EVENT
WHERE WE HIGHLIGHT ALL
OF OUR SCHOLARSHIP
WINNERS AND REVEAL THE
TOP WINNER ON STAGE.
HERE YOU'RE SEEING
FOOTAGE OF LAST YEAR'S
WINNER LEARNING THAT HE
GOT THE AWARD.
IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL
MOMENT, AND I THINK IT
MEANS SO MUCH TO ALL OF
THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
WORKED TO RAISE MONEY
AND DONATE THEIR MONEY
TO THESE SCHOLARSHIPS TO
SEE A KID WHO OBVIOUSLY
WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE
THE WHOLE COMMUNITY COME
OUT FOR THAT.
WE KEEP THE TICKET
PRICES REALLY LOW,
ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE
YOUNGER STUDENTS IN HIGH
SCHOOL COME AND SEE WHAT
THIS IS, LEARN ABOUT IT
AND MAYBE SET THE GOAL
THAT WHEN THEY ARE A
SENIOR, THEY WILL APPLY
FOR ONE OF OUR
SCHOLARSHIPS.
