Hello friends and family! As most of you know, my dear son Quintin has been drumming with the wonderful organization Loco Bloco since the 6th grade. Loco Bloco has been getting kids and teens involved in music, dance, and social justice here in San Francisco for decades. Quintin has performed in many shows with them here since, including the annual Carnival Parade, and has loved every experience.

Last summer, he participated in a campout and pow wow with the Pit River Tribe in Northern California. This summer, he has the opportunity to join a cultural exchange trip to The Big Island of Hawaii. This is a fantastic opportunity for him. Each student is required to raise $1000 for the trip. We are so grateful for any contributions to help towards this. Any amount helps!
