HONOLULU (BoH) — Bank of Hawai‘i Foundation has announced a contribution of $30,000 for the American Red Cross Pacific Islands Region to help relief efforts underway following Typhoon Mawar.
“As a longtime member of the Guam community, it’s difficult to witness and experience the devastation from Typhoon Mawar firsthand as many areas are still flooded or struggling to obtain daily necessities. I am honored to share this contribution on behalf of Bank of Hawai‘i Foundation to the American Red Cross as they work around the clock to get help to those in need,” said Mark Tokito, Bank of Hawai‘i senior vice president and a board member for the American Red Cross of Guam.
“We are grateful to the many American Red Cross volunteers and employees who provide hope and help to those who have been affected by Typhoon Mawar,” said Momi Akimseu, Bank of Hawai‘i Foundation president. “The life-sustaining services made available by the American Red Cross of Guam are essential now more than ever as many residents remain without power and water two weeks after the typhoon.”
