Hawaii Sports Radio Network Partners with Local Brand Sugar Caddy

HONOLULU — Hawaiʻi Sports Radio Network is proud to welcome locally owned Sugar Caddy as the network’s Official Apparel Partner.

As part of the exclusive partnership, Sugar Caddy will outfit HSRN’s full-time team throughout the year, with the brand represented wherever the network goes — from OIA broadcasts and high school championship events to University of Hawaiʻi athletics coverage, interviews, media days and community appearances.

“Sugar Caddy just felt like the right fit for HSRN,” said HSRN Operations Manager Kuʻulei Agbayani. “We love what they’ve built as a local brand, but even more than that, their values align with ours. We both believe in supporting local, uplifting one another and finding ways for Hawaiʻi businesses to grow together.”

Co-founded by ʻEwa Beach native Ian Pantorilla and his brother-in-law Branden Agbunag, Sugar Caddy began during the COVID-19 pandemic after the two picked up golf and saw an opportunity to create apparel that was affordable, comfortable and more representative of the Hawaiʻi they knew.

What began as a family side project has since grown into a thriving local business while maintaining its focus on family, faith and community. Pantorilla said the original group spent years working their full-time jobs while putting the money earned from Sugar Caddy directly back into the business.

Today, Sugar Caddy offers locally designed golf and lifestyle apparel for men, women and keiki, including polos, hats, outerwear and accessories. The company has built its identity around bold designs that reflect Hawaiʻi while working with Native Hawaiian and Hawaiʻi-based artists to bring those designs to life.

That local connection remains an important part of the brand’s identity.

“We’re gonna do good business with good people, and then be good people while doing it,” Pantorilla said of the philosophy behind Sugar Caddy.

You’ll now see Sugar Caddy apparel throughout HSRN’s coverage of local sports as our team hits the sidelines, press boxes, gyms, fields and arenas across Hawaiʻi and on the continent.
