Annual Dinner

The East-West Center's Annual Dinner is the Foundation's signature event.  It is a community outreach opportunity for the East-West Center, arising funds for scholarships and important research and education programs.  The dinner features a silent auction, the proceeds of which help the Center expand scholarship opportunities to Asian, Pacific, and American students.

Arts ‘Ohana

The Arts Program reaches more than 20,000 young people and adults each year, especially targeting underserved communities on O‘ahu and the Neighbor Islands.  The Arts ‘Ohana is a distinguished group of individuals who support the remarkably successful outreach through the Arts Program.  While the basic operating costs are covered from other sources, almost $20,000 has been raised through Arts ‘Ohana membership fees to support exhibitions and performances by visiting artists from Hawai‘i and throughout the Asia Pacific region.  The founding chair of the Arts ‘Ohana was Jean E. Rolles and Dr. Ruth M. Ono is the current chair.
