The 2021 Ola Pono Award Winners
Volunteers are a vital part of Hawai‘i’s nonprofits every year, hundreds of thousands of them donate their time and talents to keep our communities moving forward. During this time, we have needed these dedicated people more than ever not only to assist, but to inspire us. We found them in a woman who has been an advocate for the voiceless for decades, a husband-wife team that turns compassion into action and a young woman who began her battle against bullying in middle school.
