Hawaii Team Members 'Take Steps' to Help Local Nonprofits

Team Members from across the islands took steps and strides for the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Associations 43rd Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk. Throughout the year, Leaders and Team Members at our HGV Resorts across Hawaii helped raised funds through a variety of noteworthy events and donations. Team members from our HGV Participating Resorts were out in full force on the day of the Walk which all occurred on Saturday, August 20, 2022. Collectively the resorts raised over $32,000 of which all monies collected go to non-profit and charitable organizations on each island where the funds were raised.

"Fundraising for the Charity Walk is an important part of our Waikoloa Culture and is something we look forward to every year, it's great that we're finally back for the event in person after the pandemic," said Shine Delong, Assistant General Manager – HGV Waikoloa Resorts. "Our team did such a wonderful job this year that we went beyond our goal of raising $20,000 to help local charities. We also sponsored a food booth that served over 2000 hungry walkers on the day of the event."

Monies raised from the Charity Walk stay on its respective island and are distributed to nonprofits across the island -- addressing homelessness, youth, social welfare, mental and physical health, and the environment amongst other issues.
