oneTeam Partnerships – In keeping with its Mission and Vision, the Iolani Raiders Boosters Club has begun partnerships with a couple of Oahu’s public schools to help
them benefit from One Team. Watch this page for upcoming news of how One Team is spreading beyond Iolani School.
oneTEAM Documentary – Six years after its conception and three years after filming first began with
Mr. Edward Hamada, the documentary is nearing completion with its world premiere showing scheduled for early 2012. Inspired by Mr. Hamada and aided and supported by many
believers in One Team, the Iolani Raiders Boosters Club has persevered to independently produce the story of One Team from its beginnings with Father Kenneth Bray, as told
by many of his student-athletes, through its growth as nurtured by Mr. Hamada and others, into contemporary times with today’s coaches and alumni. Directed by award winning
filmmaker Tom Coffman and shot in high definition, the DVD will be both priceless and timeless, with everlasting value. The producing of the story of One Team itself has
been a testament to One Team, made possible only by the combined efforts and support of a team of believers, without super stars or large corporate support. As we push
one final time to raise the remaining monies needed, we applaud all the many who stayed true to their word and acted on their beliefs. Mahalo!
