Sarah Casken Honored

History

In 2006, Sarah Casken,  who was the organization’s Executive Director at the time, was honored with the 2006 Outstanding Advocate for Children and Youth Award.  This award was established by the Hawaii State Legislature to recognize the superb commitment and efforts by individuals and organizations who protect and promote Hawaii’s greatest asset, its children.

The award reads, in part, “Sarah Casken is recognized as Hawaii’s Outstanding Advocate for Children and Youth for her outstanding commitment, devotion and dedication to youth and strong support of legislation which protects and improves the well-being of children and youth in Hawaii. The Senate of the Twenty-Third Legislature of the State of Hawaii hereby congratulates and commends Sarah Casken for her steadfast commitment to making children a top priority and extends to her its warmest aloha and best wishes for continued success in all future endeavors.”

We thank Sarah for her many years of work for Hawaii’s children and youth.
