WHAT IS Stay gold hawaii
MISSION
Stay Gold Hawaii & SaveOurArtists.com provide pay it forward initiatives that provides monetary support for musicians & their families to cover their housing and food costs during times of crises. Founded in March of 2020 it is our firm belief that if we support each other we can get through even the toughest of times while preserving music & mentorship in the islands.

MINDSET
We believe that we are powerful, even unstoppable when we connect and help one another. Music creators especially have a gift for healing the world and oftentimes are not taken care of when they are in need.
Looking internally for answers, sharing what we have with others and becoming the change we wish to see in the world is the key to becoming a powerful community.
