Winner to Receive VIP Experience at Hinterland Music Festival this July

Los Angeles, April 2, 2026 — Genre-defying Korean-American artist and songwriter Audrey Nuna is teaming up with leading fundraising platform Charitybuzz to launch a global sweepstakes giving a lucky fan the chance to win a VIP festival experience. The campaign will support the Luminos Fund’s award-winning education program helping vulnerable and hard-to-reach children in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

The Charitybuzz sweepstakes is a major new step in Nuna’s pledge to help raise $1 million for Luminos this year. In January, she announced her plan to help raise $1 million following her near-win in a MrBeast celebrity competition—now viewed more than 114 million times. Nuna has personally donated $50,000 to Luminos as part of the broader campaign.

“I’m so grateful to partner with Charitybuzz in raising money for Luminos Fund with our sweepstakes for Hinterland Festival,” says Nuna. “Education access and equity, to me, is our greatest hope as a human race. Luminos is an innovative organization, already helping over 400,000 children gain a second chance at school, covering three years of curriculum in ten months. We have a goal to raise $1 million for this organization this year. As we join forces with global initiatives to fight for children’s future, we will also be matching up to $30,000 towards KIND, which are working around the clock to protect and support children separated from their families here at home.”

The Luminos Fund delivers accelerated, activity-based education programs that help vulnerable and out-of-school children learn to read, write, and do math—catching up on the first three years of primary school in just 10 months—before transitioning successfully into mainstream schools. The organization works with children navigating crisis, poverty, and discrimination, including in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. To date, Luminos has helped nearly half a million children secure a second chance to learn.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Audrey for generously using her platform in support of our education mission,” says Caitlin Baron, CEO of the Luminos Fund and editor of The Luminos Method. “This campaign brings together music, community, and purpose—and will expand access to joyful, transformative learning for children at the margins.”
