Lahainaluna High School

Foundation On behalf of the Board of Directors we wish you and your families a joyous holiday season.

LAHAINALUNA HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION

Bleacher Campaign The LHS Stadium bleacher campaign began in March of this year and will continue until further notice. To date, over

$45,000 has been raised to help fund the cost of the bleachers, an expense of over $100,000!! Nineteen classes, and

the current LHS staff, reached their goal of donating $1,000 or more and their gifts will be recognized with name-

plates at both ends of their sponsored row of bleachers. Ten other bleachers have been sponsored by individuals,

families and businesses. We thank everyone who has participated in this campaign and we look forward to the other

classes (see website for a running list) who continue to work on reaching a full sponsorship in order to be officially be recognized

with their nameplate. Donations can still be made by check, or also through the website. Mahalo … I MUA Lahainaluna!

LEGACY GIVING Last November, Kenneth Nohealani Sharpe, of Lahaina, passed away at Maui Memorial Medical Center. A few months later, the

Lahainaluna High School Foundation was advised by his financial representative that Kenneth had bequeathed his investment

account to the LHS Foundation. It was very unexpected and humbling that he had committed to gifting his funds through our

organization to benefit Lahainaluna High School.

In February of this year, one of our founders, Charles Fox III, passed away in Honolulu. Besides all that he did philanthropically for

the Foundation during his life, his family conveyed that Charlie’s wishes included donations in his memory to the LHS Foundat ion.

Just recently, Lahainaluna High School class of 1955 graduate and former boarding student Arthur Nikaido, passed away, and

again the LHS Foundation was also identified as a recipient of any donations. We are humbled and most appreciative of these re-

membrances.

Bequests and other planned gifts can have a huge impact on charitable organizations like the LHS Foundation, and they don’t take

much time or money to arrange. One doesn’t have to be wealthy to make a significant contribution to make a real difference for

Lahainaluna.

Anyone who names Lahainaluna High School Foundation in a will, trust, or insurance arrangement

may become a member of the Lahainaluna High School Foundation Legacy Program. One of the

easiest ways to make a meaningful gift to Lahainaluna High School is through a planned gift arrange-

ment. A bequest can be made through a will in the form of a gift of a specified dollar amount, a

piece of real property, a block of stock, or a percentage of the entire estate. A simple change to an already existing will (a codicil)

is another way to arrange this gifting process.

Through planned giving, donors and their families receive the satisfaction of leaving their legacy where they feel it matters the

most. If you are considering making such a bequest, set up an appointment with your financial advisor, attorney, or contact the

Foundation directly. The LHS Foundation thanks you for your support.

Hyundai is again the title sponsor for the Tournament of

Champions, PGA golf tournament. This is a winners only

event, scheduled for January 8-12, 2015, at The Plantation

Course, Kapalua Resort.

The 2014 Tournament was successful for players, fans, and the non-profit beneficiaries of the tournament. Funds are distributed

to various clubs, teams, and programs at Lahainaluna who assist with making the Tournament a success. Mark your calendars and

help make this next tournament another success for our community!

Hyundai Tournament of Champions

Lahainaluna Boarders Association

Each school year the Boarding Department faces new challenges. Last year was no different when the dormitory counselors (teacher positions) were converted to dormitory attendant positions. The 6 authorized positions were not enough to fulfill the needs of the Boarding Program which found itself one position, one shift short in each of the dormitories. As a result each board-ing student was required to check out every Sunday at 8:00 am and remain off campus until 4:30 pm that evening. Sundays were often spent sleeping in as boarders report to work every other day of the week at 6:00 am. The day is also spent catching up on homework, doing laundry, working off hours or just relaxing with their boarder ‘ohana. This caused quite a strain on the boarding students, parents and sponsors as many families had to travel from as far away as Hana or Upcountry to pick up the students for the day. Many of these parents also sponsor students from neighboring islands. None of the parents or sponsors expected that they would be doing this and many contemplated having the student leave the boarding program. The Lahainaluna Boarders Association (LBA), in working with the DOE, School Administration and Staff was able to reach an agreement that allowed the existing dormitory attendants to work the additional shift on overtime through funding provided by the LBA for the second semester. With the help of our legislators, our membership, parents and community members, the necessary monies were appropriated this year. A “Working Group” was been established to look at ways to sustain the Boarding Program. The group consists of members from

the administration, complex area superintendent, a community member, legislator, school community council member, current

boarder, a Lahainaluna parent, student and teacher. Richard “Noosh” Nishihara is representing the LBA and I will participate on

behalf of the Lahainaluna High School Foundation. Our first meeting was scheduled for October 30th, and with more meetings to

follow. Anyone interested in sharing ideas for the working group should send them to “Noosh” @[email protected] or to

me, Craig Murakami, @[email protected]. Mahalo!

SCHOLARSHIPS impact our school’s resources and programs in coming years by providing

opportunities for our students to succeed in life. There is a great sense of satisfaction in giving

back to the community and as such donors are leaving a legacy to a school that has meant so

much to them, their families and the community over the years. Each time a new scholarship is

created, donors add to the legacy of the school. MAHALO to our donors who continue to fund

these scholarships and help to Perpetuate the Torch of Excellence. I MUA!

Sue D. Cooley Stadium...a brief history

“Sue Cooley offered to

finance a project to

create a stadium with

lighting, so that home

games could be held at

Lahainaluna “

LAHAINALUNA HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION

It has been more than a decade since the LHS Foundation began discussions

regarding the lack of athletic facilities at LHS, especially the need for a real

track. LHSF Board President Rob Shelton (2002-2012) made presentations

to civic groups during that time, and what started out as a dream to improve

the track blossomed into a full, multi-purpose facility that would make it

possible for the Lunas to play at home, at night.

In 2005, the Foundation officially recognized the need for a complete

athletic stadium at a strategic planning workshop.

In 2008, the 10-year goal for the athletic committee was to have the

stadium built. (DONE!)

In March 2007, part-time West Maui resident, Sue D. Cooley, donated

her first, anonymous, $1,000,000 towards improvements to the athletic

field and track. The gift was the result of Sue hearing the football team

sing the alma mater after a disappointing loss to Baldwin. She was

inspired by the team’s sportsmanship and grace during and after the

game. [This answers the recurring question, quoted by Lanny Tihada on

Pg 7]

Sue would continue to give and by the end of 2009, she donated an

additional $1.0M and pledged another $1.0M. Her generosity would

continue. It was not until after her third million-dollar gift that Sue

decided to make her name public, hoping to inspire others to give.

The LUNAS host a game at the “Imu” in 2006.

Beginning in 2008, the Foundation would reach out to

the community and those outside the community, in

search of support for the stadium project. Celebrities

Rudy Ruettiger and ESPN’s Neil Everett would answer

the call, along with many local businesses and hundreds

of alumni. The Foundation hosted fundraising events

like the “Tailgate 2009” (which would become “Fire Up

da Imu”), a golf tournament, and a continuing brick

paver and bleacher sponsorship program.

The 1st paver area. The

pavers will now be located

in front of the football

statue, behind the arrival

building.

In April of 2010, Hellas Construction Company started on Phase 1 of

the stadium project; the installation of an artificial-turf field, 4-lane all-

weather track, scoreboard, lights and makai fencing. Ninety days later

Lahainaluna had a state-of-the art field.

It wasn’t until February of 2014, that the

Foundation was able to overcome several

hurdles and begin the construction of

Phase 2. Work began on the bleacher seat-

ing for 3,000 spectators, press box, rest-

rooms, ticket office and security fencing.

Coach Lanny escorts Sue around the stadium

during her visit on November 1,

Sue was presented with a procla-

mation from the State of Hawaii,

Board of Education at the semi-

final game on November 15th,

honoring her generosity in giv-

ing in excess of $7,000,000.

The Boarder’s flank Sue during her

recent visit. Commenting on the

stadium being named after her, she

remarked that it was “the most

incredible thing that ever happened

to me.”

Thanks to all the volunteers who

donated their time and efforts dur-

ing our stadium workdays through-

out October and November.

The Lahainaluna High School Foundation is a

non profit, 501-c-3 organization, founded by a

group of community and alumni whose vision

is to preserve and perpetuate Lahainaluna’s

culture and traditions, while providing the

students and staff with funds & improvement

projects that will promote excellence in the

educational experience at Lahainaluna.

There are MANY WAYS that you can help and

continue to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. In-kind

contributions help make a positive impact, as

do monetary donations which can be directed

to the areas of your choice or wherever the

need is greatest.

The athletic stadium is just one of several projects

which many have supported & continue to do so

through directed donations. Brick pavers and

Bleacher Sponsorships are STILL AVAILABLE to

commemorate your gift for decades to come.

There’s the Friends of the LHS Library program

that continues to provide new books each year.

The Scholarship awards continue to grow and

aid students seeking to further their education.

And remember, the LHS Foundation has awarded

more than one million dollars since 2002 towards

Grants and Sponsorships.

Perpetuating the Torch of Excellence...

Consider making a gift, no matter how much or how little.

Contact the LHS Foundation for more info. All contributions

are appreciated! I MUA, Lahainaluna! MAHALO!

This newsletter is dedicated to our most generous benefactor, SUE D. COOLEY, without whom, the multipurpose stadium at Lahainaluna High School would not yet exist.
