Long-time CBS anchor, Wendy Tokuda, came out to Hanna on January 27th to shoot an interview for a Students Rising Above segment on one of our amazing young men, Fernando. Despite the odds Fernando has qualified for a 4-year college scholarship through Students Rising Above.
The interview will air on CBS News sometime after the Super Bowl. Stay tuned for more details!
