Kamehameha Schools was founded by the will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the great-granddaughter of Kamehameha the Great.
On July 26, the Pauahi Foundation hosted its annual Ko‘olua Luncheon at Ko‘olau Ballrooms, bringing together donors and scholarship recipients to connect, reflect and celebrate.
Over lunch, guests connected across generations—sharing stories, forging new relationships and reflecting on the life-changing impact of Pauahi Foundation scholarships. The energy in the room was filled with gratitude and hope, a powerful reminder that our scholarship program is fueled by the generosity of donors, and that investing in education is investing in the future of the lāhui.
This gathering wasn’t just about looking back, it was about looking forward. Together, we are cultivating a future rooted in ʻike, culture and kuleana.
