We are going through a rapid growth spurt. We had 57 new freshmen show up on the first day of school in addition to the students we had already accounted for at band camp. Our color guard double in size over night! Growth is an amazing thing but rapid growth while still amazing comes with side effects. We don't realistically have enough equipment to properly equipment to accommodate all the students. We are in desperate need of having to expand our inventory.

HIMA needs all the help they can get in their efforts to support the program. There are some many ways to provide financial support and we are asking all our family members both past and present to help out by making a one time or on going monthly donation today.
