Your participation in this year’s fundraiser is kindly appreciated. HYS subsidizes over 70 percent of the cost per child, keeping tuition below-market, and additionally distributes over $70,000 each year in need-based financial aid. Can music change the world? Hawaii Youth Symphony sees evidence of it every day—and the transformation begins with an investment in each student. Please join us in making the difference.
