Salvation Army Receives $203K
When Diana Lord, a retired Kamehameha Schools middle school teacher, died in March 2008, she left The Salvation Army a gift of $203,694.02 to provide financial support to Salvation Army programs that assist the elderly. The gift was recently received by Maj. Edward Hill, divisional commander of The Salvation Army Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division. It was awarded by Shin Domen, executive director of CSI Inc., a local nonprofit organization that provides financial oversight to the elderly. Domen helped administer Lord’s bequest.
