Jessie Cheng immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong and resided in Honolulu for over thirty years before her passing in 2013. Having gone through hardships while growing up in Shanghai, Jessie was convinced that education was the key to a fulfilling life. At that same time, she also believed that it was important for students to gain real life experiences through participating in community projects and programs.

Today, the Cheng family continues to encourage and support students who are committed to community service through the Jessie Cheng Charitable Foundation Scholarship fund managed by Claudine Cheng.
