KAUA'I CHARITY WALK

August 20, 2022 at Vidinha Stadium

Kaua'i is all about ‘ohana. ‘Ohana extending beyond immediate family to include friends, neighbors and co-workers. The annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk raises funds to help our island community through programs from keiki to kupuna and everything in between. Whether it is with after school programs for youth or providing housing for residents needing to travel to O'ahu for medical care, every dollar raised stays on island. When those in need receive, we all win. I proudly support HLTA’s Visitor Industry Charity Walk and am happy to be a part of something that makes Kauai a better place.
