SYL Annual School Supply Drive 2025
Every summer, members of Aloha United Way’s Society of Young Leaders unite to support keiki and educators across Oʻahu. Our goal: deliver over 500 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students in need.
You can help make that happen! Donate online at auw.org/SYL2025 or purchase items directly from our Amazon Wishlist to ensure our keiki start the school year equipped and empowered.
2025 ‘Fore Da Keiki’ Golf Tournament Recap
On behalf of Aloha United Way Society of Young Leaders, we want to extend a big MAHALO to all for joining us on June 12th at Hawaiʻi Prince Golf Course for SYL’s 4th Annual ‘Fore Da Keiki’ Golf Tournament!
A great day on the green was had by all thanks to everyone’s incredible generosity, the funds raised will support our community-giving efforts throughout the year, primarily our annual School Supply Drive. The drive provides much-needed supplies for students and families experiencing housing instability.
Thanks to the support of our donors, sponsors, and volunteers we will provide more than 500 backpacks filled with school supplies to children in need, helping local students, families, and teachers have a great start to the school year.
We are excited to share the photo highlights from this year’s golf tournament!
