Since that time, The Friends have supported and guided the restoration and management of the Palace building by obtaining donations and grant monies, spearheading efforts to acquire original Palace furnishings, many of which have been scattered throughout the world, and actively managing and assisting with Palace activities.

Iolani Palace RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT BEQUEST

We are so grateful to the trust of Martin Skrypzak, through which Iolani Palace has received a generous gift of $411,500. This considerable gift supports our efforts to perpetuate Hawaii’s history and culture for years to come.

Martin was the life partner of former Palace employee, Darryl Keola Cabacungan, whose journey with The Friends of Iolani Palace started in 1975 when he served as a volunteer in what was at the time the developing Docent Program. He then moved on to the role of Education and Programs Coordinator, through which he coordinated several educational programs including Docent Training, Volunteer Scheduling, the School Tour Program and more.

During his time at the Palace, Cabacungan developed a variety of training materials for docents. He also authored “Iolani Palace: A Field Trip,” a curriculum guide for upper elementary school teachers; and edited “Experiencing Hawaii’s Historical Past: A Walking Tour of the Iolani Palace Grounds,” a curriculum guide by Keoni Du Pont. Though Cabacungan is no longer with us, he was deeply admired and respected during his time at the Palace, and his memory lives on through his generous bequest. We are equally grateful to Martin Skrypzak for designating The Friends of Iolani Palace as one of the beneficiaries of his trust.

We hope you will consider leaving a gift to Iolani Palace in your will or living trust. Whether you choose to make a gift of an exact dollar amount or a part of your estate, you are supporting the preservation of this unique historical landmark. The size of the gift doesn’t matter — big or small, every gift makes a meaningful difference.
