the 32nd Annal Visitor Industry Charity Walk drew more than 9,000 participants statewide today, raising 901,019 for more than 200 local charities.

"A lot of heart goes into this event by the workers and managers of Hawai'i's visitor industry," said Murray Towill, president of the Hawai'i Hotel & Lodging Association, which sponsored the walk. "We're happy to know that the results of our efforts today will make a positive difference to hundreds of non-profits that support the less fortunate in our community."
