<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> someone willing to rescue their son, Daniel, when he fell down a steep 500-foot cliff by Kapaloa <br /> <br /> Falls in Pololu Valley on the Big Island. Sadly, Danny did not survive, but the incident left them <br /> with a renewed faith in people's pure kindness and compassion. "How do you repay people like <br /> <br /> them, how do you even say thank you?" asked Laura. "We realized that despite the great dangers <br /> that rescue workers face in the course of their work, they don't get the same recognition that <br /> others do. We wanted to express our appreciation for the kindness shown by recognizing present <br /> <br /> day heroes." <br /> <br /> <br /> "We decided that a memorial fund honoring fire, rescue and emergency personnel is an <br /> appropriate way to say `thank you'," said Frank. They decided to establish the Daniel R. Sayre <br /> <br /> Memorial Fund with Hawaii Community Foundation as a way to memorialize Danny's life, and <br /> to express their appreciation for the kindness shown to them by "present day heroes." <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Established in 1916, the Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF) is a statewide, charitable <br /> services and grantmaking institution endowed with contributions from many donors. HCF is a <br /> <br /> steward of more than 400 donor funds, including more than 100 scholarship funds, and <br /> distributes charitable funds to Hawai`i's nonprofit organizations through a variety of programs. <br /> <br /> HCF also serves as a resource on philanthropy, and community issues and trends. <br />
