March 29, 2019 Aloha! The Honolulu Chapter of Executive Women International (EWI) invites you to participate in its 24th Annual Golf Tournament, “Fore” Education, at the Hawai‘i Prince Golf Club on Friday, August 23, 2019. We invite your participation through:
• Team Sponsorship – Platinum, Gold, or Team • Monetary Donations • Merchandise Donations
Proceeds from the tournament support our two scholarship programs:
• EWISP for high school senior students pursuing a baccalaureate degree, and
• ASIST for adult students returning to school to pursue a higher education degree.
Since the inception of the scholarship programs in 1974 and 1997, respectively, EWI of Honolulu has awarded over $550,000 in scholarships. In addition, the tournament provides critical support to local philanthropic and literacy initiatives. Some of our initiatives included sponsoring reading rallies, supporting local shelter programs, donating books and school supplies, hosting activities at nursing homes, and providing monetary support to charitable organizations, to name a few. A small portion of the proceeds also goes towards chapter operations. We welcome your support and ask that you share this opportunity with friends, family and associates. The enclosed application contains more details about the tournament. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 808 223-9293 or francine.leekadota@gmail.com.

As of March 2019
Where does your money go? Your participation in the golf tournament, our major fundraising event, will support EWI’s mission of community involvement and allow us to continue to provide generous scholarships to individuals pursuing a higher education degree and to support other philanthropic activities related to literacy. A small portion of the proceeds will also support some of our operational expenses.
EWISP (Executive Women International Scholarship Program) provides scholarship funds to outstanding high school seniors for their pursuit of a baccalaureate degree from a post-secondary education institution. Students are judged on their communication skills, creativity, scholastic records, financial need, involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership qualities and honors, citizenship, attitude, and clearly defined career goals. In 2019, EWI of Honolulu will award up to $10,000 in scholarships.
ASIST (Adult Students in Scholastic Transition) Scholarship Program provides financial support to adults facing economic, social, or other challenges, who are looking to improve their situation through educational opportunities (non-traditional students). The goal of the scholarship is to enable recipients to improve their self-esteem and to have a positive impact on their personal life, employment, and community through the furtherance of their education. In 2019, EWI of Honolulu will award up to $10,000 in scholarships.
Executive Women International is a professional organization that brings together key individuals from diverse businesses for the purposes of promoting member firms, enhancing personal and professional development, and encouraging community involvement. EWI is unique in that the firm, not the individual, holds the membership.
EWI was established in 1938 in San Francisco, California and today, EWI has approximately 1,100 member firms and representatives in chapters in major cities across the U.S. and Canada. EWI of Honolulu was established in 1967 and currently have approximately 40 member firms.
Thank you for your support and for participating in our 24th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament.
See you there!
