Dear '96er,

Aloha! 

Can you believe it's been thirty years since we graduated!? I am looking forward to seeing many of you at our Reunion in June! 

I would like to extend a huge thank you to our Reunion Committee. They have put a lot of hard work in and developed an amazing schedule for us. Please see our reunion events and registration info here: https://www.punahou96.com

Second, I'd like to invite you to join me in supporting our Reunion Class Gift. Here are two ways to give:


1. Punahou's Annual "Giving Day" Campaign - Thursday, April 9, 2026
Support Punahou and make 1996 the winner of Giving Day! Just donate $19.96 (or any amount $5 and over) to the Punahou (General) Fund and it will count towards our Reunion Class Gift. Giving Day is all about participation and the class with the most donors wins!  Help our class top the alumni leaderboards!  Again, the key is simply to participate. https://givingday.punahou.edu

2. Class of '96 Garden in the New Mary Kawena Pukui Learning Commons
Remember Cooke Library? It has been completely transformed into the brand-new Mary Kawena Pukui Learning Commons -- and we have a special opportunity to make our mark. Thanks to the generosity of ’96ers who have already donated this year, our class has raised an amazing $430,000 towards this beautiful facility. If we can raise an additional $70,000, Punahou will name an outdoor space in our class’s honor. (Note: Punahou is reserving this location just for our class in anticipation that we will succeed!)

Please contact me (john.leongATpunahou96.com) or Punahou Senior Director of Development, Wendy Chang (wmchangATpunahou.edu), if you’d like to discuss this opportunity.


Mahalo, talk soon, and can't wait to see you in June!
