🎉 Congratulations to Lily Okimoto on being named the 2026 scholarship winner! 🎉

Lily was selected to receive a full year of tuition at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa after sharing her inspiring story about returning home to Hawaiʻi and giving back to the community that raised her.

We’re especially proud because Lily is one of our amazing volunteers here at the YMCA Kaimukī-Waialae. Her kindness, dedication, and welcoming spirit make a difference every day.

If you’re visiting the branch, be sure to stop by our coffee bar and say hello to Lily! We’re excited to celebrate this well-deserved achievement and can’t wait to see all that she accomplishes at UH Mānoa.

Please join us in congratulating Lily on this incredible milestone! 🌺🎓💙
