The Hawai'i State Junior Golf Association was awarded a $10,000 grant by First Hawaiian Bank Foundation, the charitable arm of First Hawaiian Bank, the association announced.

"First Hawaiian Bank's generous donation will allow the HSJGA to continue to educate the next generation of junior golfers and future citizens of Hawai'i," said Mary Bea Porter-King, HSJGA president. "Our educational program and the game of golf teach our children the core values of golf and life: respect, good sportsmanship, integrity, honesty and personal responsibility."
