That’s a lot of bobbleheads
First Hawaiian Bank recently presented a donation of $115,000 to Marcus Mariota’s Motiv8 Foundation.

First Hawaiian Bank partnered with Tennessee Titans Quarterback Marcus Mariota to create this bobblehead as a fun way to raise awareness of his Motiv8 Foundation which supports academic programs and initiatives that provide youth with opportunities to excel in school and sports. All proceeds raised through the sales will remain in Hawaii for the benefit of Hawaii’s youth.
