The Korean American Foundation, Hawaii was created as a spin-off of the Centennial Committee of Korean Immigration to the United States. Its mission is to develop closer ties between the people of Korea and the United States, with a special focus on Hawaii.
On January 13, 2005, the 102nd anniversary of Korean immigration to Hawaii, the Foundation held a banquet at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki to honor individuals who have contributed much to the Korean community in Hawaii. This year's Light of the Orient honorees were: Agnes Rho Chun, Mayor Harry Kim, Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi, The Reverend Tongjin Samuel Lee, Frank Min, Evelyn Choi Shon and Duk Hee Lee Murabayashi.
