Maryknoll School will award its 2008 Noblesse Oblige Award for Service to attorney and community leader Alfred M.K. Wong at its 10th annual Monsignor Kekumano Award and Scholarship Dinner, March 16, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Coral Ballroom.
The event honors people in Hawaii who have given their talents to the service of others, while raising money for scholarships.
Past recipients of the Noblesse Oblige Award are Dr. Livingston M.F. Wong, James H. Gahler, Irmgard Farden Aluli, Cha and Jack Thompson, Nina Kealiiwahamana, Dr. Jorge Camara, Gov. George Ariyoshi, Dr. Gabriel Wai Chiu Ma, and Wally Yonamine.
The dinner has earned more than $1 million over the past 10 years.
The event is named for the late Msgr. Charles A. Kekumano. Each year a scholarship is awarded to a student who demonstrates excellence inside and outside the classroom, exemplifying the spirit of the school’s motto, “Noblesse Oblige,” “to whom much is given, much is expected.”
This year’s scholarship recipient is Maryknoll junior Chasen St. Onge.
Tickets for the dinner start at $200 per person. Premium tables are also available. The proceeds benefit the scholarship Fund and the capital campaign to build the Maryknoll School Community Center. For more information, call 952-7310.
