46th Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk

About the Charity Walk:

The Charity Walk, founded in 1974 and expanded statewide in 1978, is now Hawai‘i’s largest single-day fundraising event by a non-profit organization. Since its inception, more than $42.8 million has been raised to support hundreds of local charities throughout the state. Spearheaded by the Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association and its non-profit arm Hawaii Hotel Industry Foundation, the Charity Walk is traditionally held every May on Hawai'i island, Kaua'i, Lāna'i, Maui, Moloka'i, and O'ahu. Money raised on each island or county stays there.

Maui County successfully raised $1.4 million benefiting 64 Maui County non-profit organizations in 2024. Since MHLA started hosting the Charity Walk in 1980, we have raised $19.2 million in Maui. We continue to achieve and surpass our goals year after year with the continued support of our amazing community! We invite you back to our in-person event at the War Memorial special events field filled with fitness, fun, entertainment, and giveaways while raising funds and awareness for our island charities.

The 2.5-mile walk begins and ends at the War Memorial Special Events Arena. Volunteer course marshals will guide you along the route while our Aid Station Sponsors cheer you on and provide water and goodies throughout your morning exercise.
