From Hawai‘i Business Magazine:
This year the AFP Aloha Chapter celebrates its 40th anniversary. More now than ever, we see the critical role our nonprofit organizations and partners play in the daily challenges of uplifting our community. In the face of tragedy and on the front lines of recovery, the devotion of our fundraisers and the passion of our generous donors are a kismet of opportunity. We are honored to have been witness to those stories. Our hearts and minds continue to be with Maui and to those who lost much more than many of us can comprehend.
