KAUAI CHARITY WALK

August 30 - September 12, 2021

Kauai’s community is very unique, demonstrating a strong sense of unity and heartfelt care for each other is endemic and instinctive to the people that call the Garden Island home. The pandemic of 2020 was a prime example of this.

Our community relies heavily on services provided by the organizations that benefit from the Charity Walk Event. Community support such as, all-day programs and additional distance learning assistance, providing food security through our island’s food banks and homeless outreach services through family services organizations. The passionate support for this event in the Kauai community is fueled by the knowledge that all funds we raise here will be used locally for the benefit of Kauai residents.

With admiration, I am proud to support such a cause.

"What’s most meaningful about the Charity Walk is that it’s the visitor industry’s way of showing its profound appreciation for the community by way of its fiscal contribution. We continue to fundraise and, thanks to the unparalleled support of our hospitality industry, and the generosity of many HLTA members, are able to provide assistance to hundreds of local nonprofits across our islands."

- Mufi Hannemann, HLTA President and CEO
