One of the beautiful things about RCUH employees is their willingness to help others. This year, we join the University of Hawaiʻi System and the United Way to shape our community’s future and bring food, shelter, healthcare, and education to those in need.
A donation of any amount can make an impact. RCUH employees can access the IGNITE platform for online donations.
Important note: An email address will be needed to log in. The email address is your preferred email address on file in Employee Self-Service (ESS).
With a minimum $20 donation, you can designate your gift to a United Way partner agency; see the 2024 Nonprofit Partner Agency List. The RCUH United Way campaign ends on October 4, 2024. We are grateful for your support to reach our statewide $4000 goal!
