As part of its commitment to undergraduate education and student life, Chaminade University offers quality athletic programs to our students. Through competition, students learn essential skills that will serve them throughout their entire lives: sportsmanship, team-building, goal-setting, time-management, leadership-development, and how to have fun.
Gifts to the Silversword Fund (Athletics Annual Fund) assist enhancements to programs, facilities and special opportunities that arise throughout the year to immediately support our student-athletes.
We invite you to join us in supporting and strengthening our student-athletes with your gift to the Silversword Fund today.
The Hui ‘Ahinahina Booster Club
The Chaminade Hui ‘Ahinahina Booster Club was co-founded by Board of Regents’ Member Carolyn Berry Wilson and Board of Governors’ Member Adm. “Zap” Zlatoper (USN, Ret.), and it serves as the main fundraising support for our 130 student-athletes and 10 sports programs. By joining the Booster Club, you can make your gift to either a specific team or Athletics in general. Your commitment will provide our young men and women with the essential needs of every athletics program: equipment, scholarships, travel opportunities, and meals.

Athletics Gala
Chaminade’s annual Intercollegiate Athletics Gala Event is a formal dinner that inducts well-deserved members of the Chaminade University ‘ohana into the university’s Hall of Fame, as they are recognized for their contributions and dedication to Chaminade. Led by event visionary and chairman Dr. Edison H. Miyawaki, the Gala has positively flourished during past years. It has raised more than $1 million in support of Chaminade Athletics, through the generous sponsorships of businesses in the community, booster members, university supporters, and the honorees themselves.
