HONOLULU (HI Now) - Hawaii pride runs deep through University of Hawaii Athletics, and this Giving Week is all about investing directly in the student athletes who inspire Hawaii.

Fans, alumni, businesses and neighbors have a chance to rally together and support their success on and off the field, while staying connected to an exciting future taking shape in Halawa.

It is a celebration of community, culture and identity, rooted in a shared love for UH.

Beyond the physical changes visitors can see today, extensive planning is moving the project forward behind the scenes. The vision goes beyond a stadium to create a vibrant mixed use community with housing, entertainment, retail, transit and opportunities for generations to come - one that builds on an important part of Hawaii history.

NASED is envisioned as a place where sports, entertainment, education, business and community come together, with UH Athletics as a natural partner.

The Stadium Authority sees lasting opportunities for UH students, student athletes, alumni and fans to stay connected to the district. Be part of the team by giving if you can, cheering on UH and following the progress ahead.
