Employee Time and Talent

Two of our most enduring affiliations are with the Special Olympics and Easter Seals.  In Hawaii, every year since 1988, 澳博体育app下载 employees have volunteered to assist at the Summer Games.  Similarly, 澳博体育app下载's support for Easter Seals Hawaii's annual Christmas parties, for which employees 'suit up' to pass out presents as Santa or Mrs. Claus, dates back to 1962.
