5th Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk
Saturday, May 4
Walk with us on Saturday, May 4 to support Kaua'i non-profits. Registration starts at 6 a.m. at Vidinha stadium soccer field. The walk starts at 7! 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 $45 million has been raised to support hundreds of local charities throughout the state. Spearheaded by the Hawa‘ii Lodging & Tourism Association and its non-profit arm the Hawai‘i Hotel Industry Foundation, the Charity Walk is traditionally held every May on Hawai‘i, Kaua‘i, Lana‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i, and O‘ahu. Money raised on an island or each county stays there. Last year's Kaua’i Charity Walk raised over $570,000 for 55 local charities and non-profit organizations.

Welcome!
Jade Bermudez, originally from Whittier, CA, holds a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of California, Los Angeles. When not at work as a Project Coordinator for the TSETS Grant, she can be found at the gym, listening to health podcasts, or cooking - often in that exact order! Joining KCC is deeply meaningful as it is an opportunity to give back to programs similar to those which supported her own educational journey.
