Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation “HRYF”
 
Sully and Joanna Sullivan started HRYF more than 50 years to help students realize their college education dreams. D5000 participating Rotary Clubs select a deserving student to receive a $5,000 scholarship and last year, $250,000 in scholarships was awarded by HRYF!
 
HRYF scholarships are made possible by donations from Rotarians, Individuals, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and HRYF investments. You can help continue this program that Sully founded. HRYF is a 501(c)(3) Foundation.
           
Thank you again for supporting HRYF!
