Today marks the beginning of the annual RCUH Aloha United Way (AUW) Campaign! We hope that you’ll consider making a donation that benefits our community in so many ways. There are hundreds of partner agencies that change lives every day because of your generosity. When designating your gift (minimum of $20), 100% goes to the designated agency. This year, AUW has added Maui Fire Relief to its donor-designated funds.

RCUH employees have access to their own page via the IGNITE platform. Here you’ll be welcomed with a letter from RCUH Executive Director Lenny Gouveia; be able to see how we’re progressing toward our $8,000 goal; and with a few clicks be directed to the giving page where donations may be made by cash, check, credit card, or direct bill. Gifts by credit card and direct bill provide an option to make a one-time payment or installment payments. If you need detailed instructions on how to give, please refer to these instructions.

If one employee can forgo purchasing a gourmet coffee drink each week for three weeks or a plate lunch for one week and donate the funds to AUW, think about the impact 2,500+ RCUH employees can make doing the same! (AUW does not deduct any administrative fee from the donations it receives.) We hope you’ll choose to impact your community this year. The RCUH AUW campaign ends on October 20, 2023. Thank you for your support!

RCUH is following the University of Hawai’i’s lead in regards to campus operations on September 1, 2023. Due to the UH vs. Stanford football game at 5:00 p.m. and the expectation of heavy traffic around campus, RCUH has encouraged core staff to work remotely. RCUH will continue to offer services virtually (e.g., email, phone communications) during regular business hours. In the event you need to visit RCUH’s offices that day, please call (808) 956-0504 to make arrangements. The front doors of Burns Hall will be locked and the building will be accessible by keycard only. If you have any questions or concerns, please email [email protected]. Mahalo for your understanding.

RCUH indirect cost charges for SRRC accounts for the month of July 2023 have been properly posted to the project accounts in the RCUH financial system. However, these indirect cost transactions have not been transmitted or posted to the UH Kuali Financial System. UH Project Fiscal Reports for SRRC project accounts may reflect incorrect balances until this issue is resolved.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work on resolving this issue.
