The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea hosts its 26th Annual Day of Hope fundraiser Run/Walk on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015, with proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society, Pacific Cancer Foundation, and Kapiolani Medical Center.

The day will conclude with a traditional Hawaiian canoe ceremony to commemorate loved ones lost to cancer.

The day’s events start at 7 a.m., with a 10K Run / 5K Run and Walk along scenic Wailea Alanui.  The route continues on to the Resort’s Ocean Front Lawn and Wailea Beach.

The run/walk is followed by a breakfast buffet on the Ocean Front Lawn, where Master of Ceremonies and news anchor Howard “Dash” Dashefsky, will preside over the morning’s events.
