Bequests
Just as the ancient Hawaiian practice of ahupua‘a provided for the community in perpetuity through careful management of its resources, so will your charitable gift to the Pohai Nani “mind body spirit” campaign provide for the current and future well being of our adult population. Thanks to your understanding and generosity, Pohai Nani and its Fitness Center will stand out as a leader in championing the rights of mature adults to live out their lives to the fullest.
