Mid-Pacific is proud to celebrate Lyman Koike ’59, Hawai‘i’s top blood donor and a shining example of lifelong service.

At 84, Lyman continues to donate every eight weeks, now at 303 pints — potentially helping more than 900 people. His determination, optimism, and commitment to giving back inspire our entire community.

Mahalo, Lyman, for living the spirit of aloha in action.

Hawaii’s top blood donor sets his sights on records | Honolulu Star-Advertiser At 84, Lyman Koike still drives himself to the Blood Bank of Hawaii every eight weeks, rolls up his sleeve and quietly chips away at what has become a lifetime goal: becoming the world’s No. 1 blood donor.

Mahalo nui to everyone who supported us this morning in Council Chambers for the Honorary Certificate presentation recognizing Spencer A. ’26 and his friend for their extraordinary lifesaving actions. Their courage, ocean mastery, and spirit of aloha are truly inspiring.

A special shout-out to Councilmembers Radiant Cordero, Scott Nishimoto, and Matt Weyer '06 (not pictured)—proud Mid-Pacific alumni—for helping honor these outstanding young men alongside Council Chair Tommy Waters.
