Hōkūala’s Annual Golf Tournament
Operation: Rising Star
Hōkūala is proud to partner with Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military and First Responders.
Hōkūala hosted the inaugural Operation: Rising Star golf tournament at the award-winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Ocean Course on December 18, 2022, with proceeds going directly to Folds of Honor scholarship recipients in the state of Hawai‘i. This year’s annual event will take place on December 17, 2023.
2022’s Success
Despite strong winds and rolling storms, our community came together to sell out our participant teams and raised more than $125,000, or 25 scholarships, for Folds of Honor recipients throughout the Hawaiian islands. Our Title Sponsor was Odom Hawaii, who generously donated 10 scholarships; our Wingman Sponsor, a generous 5 scholarships, was Shioi Construction.
Folds of Honor
“We the people have found what unites us. It’s our honor to empower people from every walk of life through education and the opportunities it creates.”
Since its inception in 2007 by Lt Col Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor has awarded over 51,000 scholarships with 45% of all awarded representing minority recipients.
