Pink for Pauahi raises breast cancer awareness

October 21, 2020

On October 16, 1884, the skies wept over Keōua Hale when Kamehameha Schools founder Ke Ali‘i Pauahi succumbed to breast cancer. She was only 52. In honor of our founder and her courageous battle with the disease, our haumāna and limahana recently celebrated “Pink for Pauahi,” an annual campaign to promote breast cancer awareness and raise money for academic scholarships.
