We want to help Tamatoa Tuhau earn enough to get his own good tenor saxophone
Tamatoa was the winner of the Chisnallwood 2015 Talent Quest. He also got the top saxophone award at school. But he now needs to buy his own sax. Tama will be busking at school on Monday, and then later in the week at Re:Start Mall. He has been borrowing a school saxophone, and he nearly has enough for a new tenor saxophone of his own. Let’s help him reach his goal of raising the final $500 by bringing a donation on Monday for his busking… Then over the holidays, look out for him busking around town at the ReStart Mall on Cashel Street.
