Hopefully you have experienced some of the wonderful events associated with the Asia Pacific Dance Festival (APDF).  We would now like to ask you to take the next step and become a Friend of APDF.  Our Friends, through their generosity, create incredible shared experiences rich in cultural and artistic traditions from around the world.  Support for the Festival comes from a variety of sources. As a member of our Friends of APDF you will be instrumental in making the Festival a reality. Our 2018 campaign goal is to raise $75,000 over the next six months to support the 2019 Festival. We need your donation, large or small, to reach that goal. With your support, APDF will reach more students, audiences, and engage more communities. Our goal is to offer Hawai‘i unique cultural experiences through the performing arts with artists from across the globe. We look forward to your continued support.
