About Dale Fukamaki

Dale M. Fukamaki (1930-1999) became involved with ECF when two of his five children, Darrel and Terri, became volunteers for the ECF Recreation Program. The family-sponsored "First Ever" Golf Benefit has been held since 1982 to raise funds for the Recreation Program.

In 1984, the Fukamaki family received the "Outstanding Family Award for Distinguished Service to the Mentally Retarded" from the Kennedy Foundation Special Olympics. In 1990, they were the recipients of the ARC-US "Volunteer Family of the Year Award" in the Southwest Region which included Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Dale was a longtime member of the ECF Board of Directors, and served as President from 1988 to 1992.

Dale's wife, Toni, and their children invite you to join them in this year's event!
