Consequently this fund will support interscholastic canoe paddling in Hawaii.

Henry Ayau Fund: established by the Ayau Family to honor this renowned athlete and his legacy. A “Molokai Boy,” Henry excelled in life as a businessman, sportsman and community minded citizen. An exceptional athlete, Henry was a noted baseball player, canoe paddler, and world-class free diver.
