Volcano community members and businesses provided an outpouring of aloha and generous support for the Volcano School of Arts and Sciences music program after the theft of instruments and sound equipment in May.
In addition to many donations of instruments, community members contributed nearly $6,000 to the music program.
And Volcano Winery, in partnership with Grand to Grand Ultra, gifted the school with a generous check for $1,500 for the purchase of new instruments and sound equipment.
The Volcano Art Center also plans to donate $1,000 for the school’s music program.
“Music and the arts are not just extracurricular at Volcano School, but are an important part of the learning process through arts integration and creative expression,” said Kalima Cayir, the school’s director. “Students and staff are deeply appreciative of the tremendous generosity.”
Cayir said the many individuals who donated instruments, equipment and money to support the music program was overwhelming.
“Students and staff express our heartfelt thanks for the incredible community support that provided a very happy outcome to an unfortunate incident,” she said.
