In 1974, the Hawai‘i Hotel & Lodging Association sponsored
a “Superwalk” to benefit one major charitable organization.
Over the years, the Charity Walk has grown to become one of the largest
single day fund-raising events in the State. In 1978, the Hawai‘i
Hotel & Lodging Association members voted to extend the reach
of support offered by the walk’s fund-raising capability, the
Visitor Industry Charity Walk is the result of this decision. All
of Hawai‘i’s non-profit charities are eligible to benefit.
Walkers are treated to food, drink and first aid at checkpoints along
the walk route. All checkpoints are operated and supplied with refreshments
and helpers by Hawai‘i hotels and allied organizations. Entertainment
may also be provided at many checkpoints and/or at the end of the
walk. |
