There was also a raffle with prizes ranging from NFL team golf bags, a 70-inch TV, and a grand prize Las Vegas getaway for 2. In the afternoon there was a live broadcast of the Poor Sports Show by the crew from Fox Sports 990 AM with State Director Kalani Werner being put in the hot seat. The day ended with an awards reception with the top team winning a round of golf at Kapolei Golf Course.

The scholarship and golf tournament honor James Toledo, affectionately known as Jimmy, a figure synonymous with leadership and dedication within United Public Workers. Toledo’s contributions were manifold; as Chief Steward of the Board of Water Supply where he worked for over 30 years, a member of the State Executive Board, and the BU 01 Executive Negotiating Committee.
He was instrumental in securing protective provisions for working families in the union’s contract legislation. His unwavering commitment to the well-being of UPW members and their families left an indelible mark on our union and its legacy. Toledo sadly passed away in 2013 at the age of 72.
