A Kamehameha Schools Maui Class of 2030 fundraiser generated more than $19,800 in gross musubi sales during the Maui County Fair, with proceeds going toward student activities and Project Graduation.
The fundraiser, organized through the Kamehameha Schools Maui Parent Teacher Student Ohana, was held during the fair Oct. 1-4 in partnership with Minit Stop, according to the chain.
Proceeds will support Papa Kō, the Class of 2030, with resources and opportunities throughout the students' high school years, including Project Graduation, a substance-free celebration following graduation. "Papa" means class, while Kō is the plant the class's kumu selected to represent the students.
Minit Stop provided musubi at a discounted fundraising rate and assisted families with order fulfillment, communications, promotion, signage and other logistics.
"This fundraiser was truly a Class of 2030 ʻohana effort, and Minit Stop was an incredible partner in making it possible," said Marina Sands Dunn, Class of 2030 PTSO representative.

"Supporting our local schools and families is part of who we are at Minit Stop," said Greg Cabanting, Minit Stop general manager. "We're proud to have partnered with the Kamehameha Schools Maui Class of 2030, and grateful to everyone who stopped by the fair to show their support."
