Maui Mall Village is proud to be the site of Maui’s inaugural Best Buddies International Friendship Walk, on Saturday, April 18. The walk is a fundraiser for Best Buddies International, a nonprofit dedicated to helping those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It’s also a community celebration of inclusion of those with disabilities.

Check in is at 8:30 a.m. and opening ceremonies begin at 9:15 a.m., at Maui Mall Village. The fun continues until noon, with the walk around the center, live music, crafts, games, inspirational speakers, interactive activities and food. Registration for the walk is free and there is no fundraising minimum. Funds raised help local programs.
