The two year- long project was launched a few months ago. Coach Hamada would be happy knowing funds raised to support this project will provide financial assistance to students in need.” The statue is being created by sculptor Sean Browne and will be placed on campus near the entrance to the Eddie Hamada Football Field. So it’s important that we share his story so future generations know who helped to develop our One Team philosophy and our culture of caring for others. “It’s true that Eddie Hamada would not have wanted a statue of him made because he was such a humble man,” Shimabukuro said, “but the committee realizes who he was and what he stood for.
