About this event
HUOA’s Legacy Award Banquet honors distinguished individuals for their outstanding achievements and contributions to our Uchinanchu and Hawaii communities. They have applied the essence of such endearing Okinawan expressions as chimugukuru (compassion) and yuimaaruu (helping each other). As leaders and cultural masters, our honorees have performed meritorious services that have enriched our lives and improved the welfare of our communities. In 2024, we are pleased to recognize the following remarkable men and women:
Zenko Heshiki: Shihan and Founder, Chozen-ji Kempo Karate
Arnold Hiura: President and Executive Director, Hawaii Japanese Center
Eloise Hiura: Executive Assistant, Hawaii Japanese Center
Shelee Kimura: President and CEO, Hawaiian Electric
Bonnie Naomi Miyashiro: Kaishu, Miyashiro Sōhō Kai
Steve Kishaba Sombrero: President, Cushman & Wakefield Chaneybrooks; Founder, Aloha Beer Co.; Author, “What Day Are You?”
Please join us in honoring the 2024 HUOA Legacy Award recipients. These special individuals are recognized for their outstanding achievements in their fields and significant contributions to our local, national, and international communities.
