President's Message As I leave the Board after six years, I marvel at the transformation that has occurred w ith The Outrigger Duke Ka hanamoku Foundation. First and foremost, of course, is the increased amount of scholarships and grants that the Foundation dispensed this year to Hawai' i's young athletes. "Everybody loves Duke" and the generosity of our donors clearly proves that observation. This year we reached a new high of almost $80,000 dispensed in scholarships and grants - nearly double the amount :.!005 .'-it·lw/,rsluiJ ltrrmlt•t• . lt!tletic Cm11fet• O'istol Simms :lt!tletic Cmult•c A:t•kon from six years ago.
