American Savings Bank Pledges $50,000 to Support Rainbow Wahine Student-Athletes

The University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department, in partnership with the University of Hawai‘i Foundation, is proud to announce a new collaboration with American Savings Bank (ASB) to support Rainbow Wahine student-athletes. As part of this sponsorship, ASB has pledged to donate up to $50,000 and will establish an endowment fund to provide scholarships to deserving Rainbow Wahine student-athletes each year.

“We are thrilled that American Savings Bank has stepped up to support our Rainbow Wahine student-athletes,” said UH Athletics Director Craig Angelos. “We’ve had tremendous success in these sports, and the Wahine Fund will help us compete at championship levels.”

The Wahine Scholarship Fund provides vital resources and helps build a legacy of women champions at UH. ASB’s generous gift will help UH reach its fundraising goal and ensure the ongoing success of women’s athletics at the university.

“American Savings Bank is proud to support the dreams of Rainbow Wahine student-athletes as they achieve greatness in their academic and athletic pursuits,” said Ann Teranishi, President and CEO of ASB. “At ASB, more than 65 percent of our teammates are female, and we’ve seen firsthand the amazing things women can accomplish when provided the right resources and support.”
