Lisa Paulson talks about Maui Charity Walk

Published: May 2, 2018, 4:48 a.m.

I talk with Lisa Paulson Executive Director of Hotel and Lodging assoc on Maui. The CHARITY WALK is a statewide event that occurs on Hawai`i Island, Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Molokai and Oahu in May. In 2017, 14,000 walkers raised over $2.27 million to help our local charities. In 1974 the Hawai`i Lodging & Tourism Association, formerly the Hawai`i Hotel Association, sponsored a charitable "Superwalk" to benefit one major charitable organization. In 1978, the Hawai`i Lodging & Tourism Association members voted to extend the reach of support offered by the Walk's fundraising capability. The Visitor Industry CHARITY WALK is the result of this decision. Since its inception in 1978, over $32 million has been raised and helped hundreds of local charities throughout the State.MAUIWar Memorial Soccer Field at 7:00 am go to http://www.charitywalkhawaii.org/maui.html
