Meet Brandon

Brandon met Concetta while serving as a board member for the Rotary Club of Honolulu.  Their mutual desire to bring people together, shared values, and an interest in working toward a better future inevitably led to a close friendship.  They had many long conversations about what the future could be.  After her 2nd round of facing cancer, she asked Brandon to continue her legacy of giving.  Over the next few years, they discussed the challenges of the world and the impact we could have.  How beautiful life is.  Upon her eventual passing, Brandon took action on an old promise, and the Empowerment Fund of Honolulu was created.
