I am a member of a very small band at Kulanihakoi School, which is a brand new school on Maui. This year, we have the incredible opportunity to travel to New York and perform in the 100th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It's a huge honor for me to represent my school, my island, and all of Hawaii at such a famous event, especially alongside other schools from our state.

However, the trip is expensive, and I need help to make it possible. The money raised will go toward my plane ticket and hotel costs. Being able to go would mean the world to me—it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of something historic and to show what our small but passionate band can do on a national stage.

Thank you so much for any help you can give. If you can't donate, please consider sharing my fundraiser with your friends, family, or on social media. Every bit of support brings me closer to making this dream come true. I truly don't want to miss out on this amazing experience!
