OUTRIGGER DUKE KAHANAMOKU FOUNDATION

Our mission is to financially support the development of individuals and organizations that perpetuate the spirit and legacy of Duke Kahanamoku.

WHAT IS DUKE'S NIGHT?

Duke’s Night is a festive community event that brings together students, their friends, and families to recognize scholarship winners' accomplishments and encourage them to lead as Ambassadors of Aloha. All awardees are invited from across the islands to be celebrated publicly on stage. The top seven candidates for the Duke Award will be showcased individually, followed by a live, white envelope reveal of the top scholarship awardee.

The program will include a panel of Hawaii athletes who have excelled at the highest levels: Carissa Moore (surfing), Kawika Shoji (volleyball), and Donna Kahakui (paddling). They will share advice with our young leaders and the rest of the audience about competition and life.
