Internal Giving Campaign exceeds the fundraising goal
Hooray for our faculty and staff who gave once again to support the missions of the University of Hawaiʻi John A. Burns School of Medicine. This year, gifts and pledges from within the school totaled $732,767 and the giving campaign engaged 342 different donors.
Today's after-celebration included a clever popcorn bar arranged by JABSOM Associate Director of Development Julie Inouye and the ever-clever events team of Melia Young and TC Chun, who decorated aprons designating Dr. Hedges and campaign co-chair Dr. Larry Burgess as “Pop Diddy” and “Pop Dizzle.” See the video!
