"We envision a world where everyone has a decent and affordable place
to live."
Interfaith Communities in Action (ICIA) will be holding a FUNdraising walk Saturday morning, August 6, 7:30 am at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium (323 Manono St, Hilo) to support our signature fund "Hale ka Po`e Keiki" (Homes for Children).

Prizes will be awarded for the top three walkers who have collected the most donations. Decorated baby strollers and wheelchairs are welcome as walkers.

Participants will have an hour to walk multiple laps around the route, with fun music and group dance-alongs to participate in along the route.

Walkers are welcome to bring along “cheerleaders” to support them at points along the route!
At the conclusion of the walk at 8:30 am, the Civic Auditorium will be open for free live entertainment and food available for purchase. The entertainment program includes Taishoji Taiko, Te Rangatahi, Java Jive, and Puna Taiko. The event finishes at 11:30 am.
