Last week, we ran a unique Instagram campaign: we asked local businesses or influencers to share a post. If 50 did, a very generous donor would gift Namahana $50,000 towards building our permanent middle school classrooms. Thanks to the support of the community, we easily flew by that goal of 50 posts, gained over 167,000 views, and secured the $50,000 match. The students were especially excited to hear that professional athletes such as surfers Kelly Slater, Alana Blanchard, Jack Freestone, Malia Manuel, and Sebastian Zietz shared Namahana’s story. As well as LA Dodger Kirby Yates, kickboxer Dustin Aiwohi-Barca, SUP boarder Mariko Stricklad Lum, and racer Terry Madden.
We are grateful for the unbelievable support from the community and local businesses. Mahalo for spreading Namahana’s story far and wide. Now, the work continues. Click though to our site for more info on how you can contribute to building Namahana School’s permanent classrooms.
