Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center—together with the Hawai‘i County Bar Association (HCBA)—invites the public to support its Sixteenth Annual Recognition.
This year Ku’ikahi presents the ‘Peacemaker Award’ to Dan Brinkman (top) of Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, Lisa Rantz (left) of Hilo Medical Center Foundation, and Randy Kurohara (right) of Community First Hawai’i.
The HCBA honors the Honorable Melvin H. Fujino, Interim Chief Judge (Ret.), and Lester D. Oshiro, Chief Court Administrator, of the Third Circuit.
A “Virtual Tribute Video” will be shared online on Sunday, November 14, 2021, highlighting these honorees. To prevent more “Zoom fatigue,” this video can be viewed at your convenience, on your schedule, and shared liberally.
“While we regret that we cannot host an in-person celebratory Recognition Dinner & Auction, we still believe it is important to honor leaders who have served our community in these challenging times, especially our three health care heroes,” said Ku‘ikahi Executive Director Julie Mitchell. “We humbly ask you to consider a sponsorship or gift in honor of one or more of our five honorees.”
Founded in 1983, Ku‘ikahi has been “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” for 38 years. This annual fundraiser provides a significant portion of the funds that Ku‘ikahi needs to provide free and low-cost dispute prevention and resolution services in East Hawai‘i.
“Our mission is to empower people to come together—to talk and to listen, to explore options, and to find their own best solutions,” said Cheryl Matsumura, Ku‘ikahi’s President. “Your support helps make this mission a reality. Please join me in being a partner for peace.”
