Meet the team that makes Bottles4College happen.

Mahalo to those who help make Bottles4College possible.

Genshu Price - Founder

Genshu Price is a 17 year old Hawaii teen. Growing up in Hawaii, he wanted to take action to the challenges he and many of his peers grew up with here in the 50th state. At 10 years old, he created Bottles4College, turning it into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization at 13 years old while attending King Intermediate School. The Class of 2025 Graduating Junior of Myron B. Thompson Academy has now been recognized from local to global stages for his work, is a published author, and is continuing to work hard in creating change for both Hawaii and the world.
