Visitor Industry Charity Walks on the three islands in Maui County in May raised $1,212,066, and the Maui island total was the highest of any island in the state for the eighth straight year, the Maui Hotel & Lodging Association said Thursday.

The 39th walks in the county exceeded the million-dollar mark for a second straight year and drew more than 3,000 walkers.

The Maui island walk raised $1,134,642; the one on Lanai, $43,315; and the one on Molokai, $34,109. The Lanai and Molokai walks were held on May 6 and the Maui walk on May 13.

The funds raised go to 112 Maui County nonprofit organizations, said Lisa Paulson, executive director of the Maui Hotel & Lodging Association. “The range of services of these recipients touches many residents’ lives from children to the elderly, from athletic organizations to service-related agencies; from health to housing,” she said.
