"Aloha Petroleum is proud to play a role in helping HGEA members and their families pursue enriching educational opportunities," said Richard Parry, Aloha Petroleum president and chief executive officer, who along with Larry Adams, Aloha Petroleum director of sales and marketing, presented the check to Darren Wong, [image-nocss] chair of the Charles R. Kendall Scholarship Fundraising Committee.
HGEA established the Charles R. Kendall Scholarship and Education Fund in 1966. In the last 44 years, more than 1,660 scholarships have been awarded to HGEA members and their families.
"Charles Kendall dedicated his life to improving the lives of public employees and we're pleased to be able to carry on his mission through the generous support of community partners such as Aloha Petroleum," said Wong. HGEA has been an Aloha Petroleum partner and customer for more than 15 years.
Aloha Petroleum will continue to support HGEA's scholarship program through its Save-A-$ Club affinity program. HGEA members who use the Save-A-$ Club card to purchase fuel from Aloha Petroleum receive a discount. A portion of the discount goes to the scholarship fund.
