​California Guam Hawaii now recognized as a Region.

In a message to California Guam Hawaii (CGH) team members and the OneACS leadership team, Senior Vice President of Field Operations Brant Woodward announced the promotion of Maria Olson to Executive Vice President.

“In 2022, the CGH Division was uniquely formed to seize significant growth opportunities and reimagine our ways of work to achieve those goals,” said Brant. “Under Maria’s leadership, the CGH team has exceeded the drivers of success including exponential growth, deepened corporate partnerships and philanthropy, and significantly improved ROI which means more money to directly fund the mission.” While CGH achieved 20% revenue growth in 2023, and is currently tracking 22.8% over the prior year, the team is on the path to meet and most likely exceed that extraordinary growth once again in 2024. 

Some examples of the CGH team’s success include:

• Executing a record breaking $2.3 million Honolulu Hope Gala including a $1 million Hope Lodge endowment gift as part of the campaign
• Securing a $1.5 million research investment from an annual donor who has consistently had given $25,000 per year
• Celebrating a $2.5 million San Francisco Discovery Gala in 2023, its highest growth ever, which is poised to exceed a $3 million goal in 2024
• Pioneering a multi-year, strategic corporate partnership program which has resulted in more than $2,944,575 in NEW money

Brant added that in addition to Maria’s promotion, CGH will also be officially recognized as a Region moving forward. “This change is based on several factors and stems in large part from the number of top markets, Fortune 500 companies, and current total revenue, in addition to Hope Lodge campaigns and CEO’s Against Cancer chapter potential,” he said.

Congratulations to Maria and the entire CGH Region for creating sustainable and renewed success throughout its evolution.
