One of the many long-running charity events hosted at luxury resorts along Hawaii Island’s Kona-Kohala Coast is Run for Hope each September at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. The weekend event takes place Friday, September 8 through Sunday, September 10.
Together with the West Hawaii Unit of the American Cancer Society, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai presents this multi-day event benefiting cancer research with all proceeds staying here in the islands. Now in its 21st year, the annual event has raised more than $1.1 million to aid the fight against cancer.
