HELP! Donation is Tax Deductible

Folks, this is my shameless plug for funds for my high school Alma Mater's Boys Volleyball team. A dear friend of mine is the head coach and is soliciting funds to help them do what they need to do to keep the program running. There is no limit to what you can do! If you can give even just $5, send a check to:

ATTENTION : Kaniela Kalama, Head Coach
Kahuku High School Boys Volleyball Program
56-490 Kamehameha Hwy
Kahuku, HI 96731


Below is the letter that was sent to previous donors. There is a number you can call if you need the 501(c)3 tax EIN to deduct it from your taxes.

Dear Stakeholder,

Last year the Kahuku High School Boys Volleyball Program worked towards developing young men who were willing to strive to be the best student athletes they could possibly be. As a result, they became exceptional positive role models to their fellow peers and to the community. And with generous contributions from people like you, we had a very successful season.

Our team did an outstanding job of achieving that high standards that were set for them on and off the course. We won the East dividion title and received a spot to participate in last year's State Tournament. This was accomplished depsite the lack of funds to play in some pre-season volleyball tournaments. These tournaments provide teams with invaluable experiences that rural schools such as ours, often miss due to transportation and other costs. The cost of one bus is approximately $300 per game.

This year, we will once again strive to be an exemplar program both athletically and acadmically, and we are asking if you wouold be able to be a part of our efforts that goal. We will hold a fundraiser Volleyball Tournament in March or April and we are asking businesses and establishments such as yours to donate whatever is feasible to assist in this program. Please know that your generous contributions will help our efforts to cover transportation costs, purchase supplies, equipment and apparel for our boys team. If you are able offer a donation, please send it to:

ATTENTION : Kaniela Kalama, Head Coach
Kahuku High School Boys Volleyball Program
56-490 Kamehameha Hwy
Kahuku, HI 96731


If you are making a monetary donation please make payment out to: Kahuku High School Boys Volleyball Program.

If you have any questions whatsoever regarding this program please do not hesitate to contact the school at (808) 293-8950 if you require a 501 C3 tax identification number.

We appreciate your continued support for our young athletes.

Sincerely,
Kaniela Kalama, Head Coach
KHS Boys Volleyball
