A Beautiful Celebration: Aolani’s Quinceañera

On November 15th, 2024, Plant A Seed proudly celebrated our very first My Quince Program winner, Aolani Arévalo!

The day was nothing short of magical.

A true dream brought to life.

From the stunning venue provided by Grand Gala Events, the breathtaking gown handpicked at Bryda House of Fashion, to the flawless hair and makeup by GlamYouUp Studio, every detail was meticulously planned and executed.

The celebration was beautifully captured by Alekéi Images, creating memories that Aolani and her loved ones will cherish forever. A special thanks to Walmart, Providers Elite Services, Mortgage Link, Maria Hernandez (flower bouquet), & Joann Yanez (Zales gift) whose contributions added the perfect touches to make the day unforgettable.

This celebration marked more than just a Quinceañera

It was a testament to Aolani’s resilience and the love and support of her family and community. It also exemplified our mission at Plant A Seed: to empower, uplift, and create life-changing experiences for our youth.

We are deeply grateful to all our sponsors who helped make this event possible. Because of your support, we were able to give Aolani a moment she will treasure forever.
