Charity Walk 2025 - Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association

Join us for the

46th Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk
Saturday May 3rd, 2025.

We are excited to announce we’re hosting the 46th Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk at Vidinha Stadium soccer field on Saturday 5/3/2025 at 7am (registration starts at 6:00am). In 2024, we proudly achieved our fundraising goal of $600,000, providing vital support to over 60 nonprofits across Kaua‘i. While we celebrated this incredible success, many of our nonprofit partners are now facing increased demand for their services. Rising inflation has placed a significant burden on local families, leading more individuals to seek help with basic needs. In response, we’ve raised our fundraising goal to $700,000 this year to better support these essential services. As you are aware, the Kaua’i Charity Walk has been a staple fundraiser on the island for over 46 years and is the lifeline for many non-profit organizations on the island.

We are thrilled to introduce this year’s Charity Walk Chair, Aaron Bambling, General Manager of Koloa Landing Resort, and Co-Chair, Michael Murphy, General Manager of Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Resort & Spa. Together, they bring exceptional leadership to guide the Charity Walk towards new milestones. We are immensely grateful for the many hands and generous hearts that make this three-month fundraising effort a success. Together, we’re making a difference in our community—let’s aim even higher in 2025!
