In 2017, Olivia MacKay, a junior at Indian Trail High School, lost her life due to criminal violence. Olivia loved to travel and evangelize about the cultures around the world that “We all must see”. Olivia loved music that broke the language barrier and told stories that would reach any heart and mind. Most importantly, Olivia cherished the value of education. Especially education that opened young students’ eyes to cultures abroad.
When Olivia died, many within our communities’ hearts were broken. How could someone who embodied the good in this community be taken too soon? Fortunately, Kmack Productions and The Education Foundation of Kenosha came together to create a community event that brings all the hearts to the table. No matter where people come from or where they are heading, they know they can join many hearts in harmony to celebrate Arts, Culture and Global Education through the international language of Music at Harmony Fest.
The proceeds from this event go to the Olivia MacKay High School Study Abroad Scholarship Fund. Because Kenosha Students deserve the chance to see the world just like Olivia did.
