People in the community ask how can Paradise of Samoa keep running and viable when there is no tuition, fees, or costume expenses for participants. First, it is the parents and families of the dancers and their commitment, secondly, it is the dedication of the dancers themselves, and thirdly, it is financially up to our sponsors, customers, grantors, and the LUAU, which is our major fundraiser of the year.
